據(jù)鉆機地帶1月11日消息稱，總部位于休斯敦的石油和天然氣公司W(wǎng)&T Offshore通過收購美國聯(lián)邦淺海地區(qū)的一些油氣生產(chǎn)資產(chǎn)，擴大了其在墨西哥灣的投資組合。
該油田位于墨西哥灣中部地區(qū)，以4700萬美元的現(xiàn)金收購。該交易將于 2021 年 7 月 1 日生效，預(yù)計將于 2022 年第一季度末完成。
新資產(chǎn)增加了內(nèi)部估計的550萬桶油當(dāng)量的探明儲量，以及760 萬桶油當(dāng)量的 2P 儲量。這也將在三個淺水油田增加超過50口總生產(chǎn)井。
董事長兼首席執(zhí)行官Tracy W. Krohn說：“收購是W&T創(chuàng)造價值的核心組成部分，此次交易是為我們的股東增加價值的另一個很好的收購例子。它符合我們所有的選擇標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，擁有強大的已探明開發(fā)儲量基礎(chǔ)，為我們提供了確定的上升潛力，而無需大量的資本成本，并使我們能夠降低成本，進一步增加自由現(xiàn)金流。”
更具體地說，W&T將從ANKOR E&P Holdings Corporation和KOA Energy收購Ship Shoal 230、South Marsh Island 27/Vermilion 191和South Marsh Island 73油田。此次收購包括53口生產(chǎn)井和16個結(jié)構(gòu)。此次收購的資金將全部使用手頭的現(xiàn)金。
Krohn說：“這些資產(chǎn)非常好地補充了我們現(xiàn)有的高質(zhì)量資產(chǎn)組合，考慮到我們在這些資產(chǎn)附近經(jīng)營其他資產(chǎn)，我們相信我們將能夠利用我們的規(guī)模和專業(yè)知識來獲得協(xié)同效應(yīng)，并使這些資產(chǎn)的價值最大化。目前墨西哥灣的收購環(huán)境仍然很好，我們處于有利地位，可以尋求更多有吸引力的機會。”
值得注意的是，該油田目前的石油產(chǎn)量估計為250萬桶/天，天然氣產(chǎn)量為540萬立方英尺/天，即總產(chǎn)量為340萬桶/天。

W&T Offshore Buys Producing Gulf Of Mexico Fields
Houston-based oil and gas company W&T Offshore has expanded its Gulf of Mexico portfolio with the acquisition of several oil and gas producing assets in U.S. Federal shallow waters.
The acreage is located in the central region of the Gulf of Mexico and was bought for a cash consideration of $47 million. The transaction will have an effective date of July 1, 2021, and is anticipated to close by the end of the first quarter of 2022.
The new assets add internally estimated proved reserves of 5.5 million barrels of oil equivalent as well as 2P reserves of 7.6 million boe. This will also add over 50 gross producing wells in three shallow-water fields.
“Acquisitions are a core component of how we create value at W&T and this transaction is another great example of an acquisition that adds value for our stockholders. It meets all of our selection criteria, has a strong base of proved developed reserves, provides us with identified upside potential without significant capital costs, and allows us the ability to reduce costs to further increase free cash flow,” Tracy W. Krohn, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said.
More specifically, W&T is acquiring the Ship Shoal 230, South Marsh Island 27/Vermilion 191, and South Marsh Island 73 fields from ANKOR E&P Holdings Corporation and KOA Energy. The acquisition includes 53 producing wells and 16 structures. The acquisition will be funded entirely using cash on hand.
“These assets complement our existing high-quality portfolio extremely well, and given we operate other assets near these properties, we believe we’ll be able to leverage our scale and expertise to capture synergies and maximize the value of these assets. The current environment for acquisitions in the Gulf of Mexico continues to be very good and we are well-positioned to pursue additional attractive opportunities that present themselves,” Krohn added.
It is worth noting that the current estimated production from the properties is 2.5 MBbl per day of oil and 5.4 MMcf per day of natural gas or a total of 3.4 MBoe per day.
