据世界石油2023年8月14日报道，美国页岩先驱切萨皮克能源公司（Chesapeake Energy Corporation）已执行一项协议，将其在鹰福特页岩远景区持有的剩余资产以7亿美元的价格出售给银弓资源公司，从而使鹰福特页岩远景区退出的总收益超过35亿美元。

切萨皮克能源公司已同意出售其位于Dimmit和Webb县的鹰福特页岩远景区凝析油丰富部分的约42000净英亩产区和约540口井，以及相关资产、工厂和设备。在今年第二季度，这些油田的平均油气净日产量约为29000桶油当量(60%为液体)，产生了大约5000万美元的息税前利润。到2022年12月31日，与这些资产相关的净探明储量约为1.24亿桶油当量。

切萨皮克能源公司预计这笔交易将在今年年内完成，有效交易日期自2023年2月1日算起。切萨皮克能源公司将在交易完成后获得6.5亿美元，最后5000万美元的分期付款将在交易完成后一年内支付。银弓资源公司还同意，如果纽约商交所WTI平均油价在每桶75美元至80美元之间，银弓资源公司将向切萨皮克能源公司额外支付2500万美元的或有款项，如果WTI纽约商交所平均价格在交易结束后的一年内高于80美元，银弓资源公司将支付5000万美元，这将使这笔交易的总收益增加到7.5亿美元。切萨皮克能源公司预计，这些收益将用于进一步加强其资产负债表和股票回购计划。

切萨皮克能源公司总裁兼首席执行官Nick Dell'Osso表示：“我们很高兴成功完成了从鹰福特页岩远景区资产的退出，使我们能够将资金和团队集中在马塞勒斯和海恩斯维尔页岩产区的优质页岩和回报上。”

Chesapeake Energy completes Eagle Ford exit with $700 million sale to SilverBow Resources

Chesapeake Energy Corporation has executed an agreement to sell its remaining Eagle Ford assets to SilverBow Resources, Inc. for $700 million, bringing the total proceeds from its Eagle Ford exit to more than $3.5 billion.

Chesapeake has agreed to sell approximately 42,000 net acres and approximately 540 wells in the condensate rich portion of its Eagle Ford asset located in Dimmit and Webb counties, along with related property, plant and equipment. During the second quarter of 2023, average net daily production from these properties was approximately 29,000 boe (60% liquid)m which generated approximately $50 million of EBITDAX. As of December 31, 2022, net proved reserves associated with these properties were approximately 124 MMboe.

Chesapeake expects the transaction will close in 2023, with an effective transaction date of February 1, 2023. The company will receive $650 million upon closing, with the final $50 million installment paid one year from the closing date. SilverBow has also agreed to pay Chesapeake an additional contingent payment of $25 million, should oil prices average between $75 and $80 per barrel WTI NYMEX or $50 million should WTI NYMEX prices average above $80 during the year following the close of the transaction, which could increase total proceeds of the deal to $750 million. Chesapeake anticipates the proceeds will be available to further strengthen its balance sheet and for its share repurchase program.

"We are pleased to have successfully completed the exit of our Eagle Ford asset, allowing us to focus our capital and team on the premium rock, returns and runway of our Marcellus and Haynesville positions," said Chesapeake President and Chief Executive Officer Nick Dell'Osso.
