Per the deal, Resolute Energy will buy 4,600 net acres of undeveloped and producing oil and gas properties in the Reeves County, TX. Half of this acreage, adjacent to Resolute Energy’s operating area in Reeves, currently produces 800 net barrels of oil equivalent per day.

Delaware basin is one of the most productive and economically viable oil and gas fields in the U.S. Resolute Energy has been drilling some of the most successful Wolfcamp wells in the Delaware Basin.

The current acquisition will boost the company’s development plan in the Reeves acreage. Resolute Energy intends to complete all the drilled but uncompleted wells before the closure of the transaction and expects the production to commence from mid-July. To finance the acquisition, the company has entered into a $100 million Bridge financing facility with BMO Capital Markets.
