Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On May 7, 2021, Evolution Petroleum Corporation (the “Company”) completed the acquisition of non-operated oil and gas assets in the Barnett Shale (the “Transaction”) from TG Barnett Resources, LP (“TGBR” or the "Seller"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tokyo Gas Americas, Ltd. (“Tokyo Gas”) for $18.2 million, net of preliminary purchase price adjustments. The final purchase price before adjustments of the Transaction was $19.6 million in cash, with an effective date of January 1, 2021 and a closing date of May 7, 2021. A portion of the non-operated dry gas working interests were excluded from the Transaction as a result of potential title defects that the Seller was unable to timely cure.
The asset footprint consists of approximately 21,000 net acres held by production across 9 counties in the Barnett Shale basin of North Texas. The acreage has an approximate average WI of 17% and average RI of 14%. The acquired properties consist of proved developed producing reserves of approximately 50 Bcf of natural gas and 5 MMBls of liquids based on the Seller’s December 31, 2020 Netherland Sewell reserve report using weighted average prices of $51.41/Bbl for oil and $2.74/Mcf for natural gas. The asset has estimated current net production of approximately 17 MMcf/d of natural gas and 1.3 MBbls/d of liquids.
The Transaction was funded primarily with cash on hand, plus a small draw on the Company’s existing bank facility that is expected to be repaid quickly from operating cash flow.
The foregoing description of the provisions of the purchase and sale agreement regarding the Transaction between the Company and the Seller (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”), and the amendments to the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Amendments”), is summary in nature and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Amendments, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 and incorporated herein by reference.
