AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 15, 2016
AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Parsley Energy, Inc. (NYSE: PE) ("Parsley Energy," "Parsley," or the "Company") today announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire certain undeveloped acreage and producing oil and gas properties in Glasscock County, Texas, as well as associated mineral and overriding royalty interests, for an aggregate purchase price of $400 million in cash, subject to customary closing conditions. Parsley intends to finance this acquisition through debt and equity issuances announced concurrently with the acquisition.
Acquisition Highlights
Initial Glasscock County Horizontal Well Results
Parsley's first producing horizontal well on the Glasscock County acreage the Company acquired in May has shown encouraging results to date. The Dwight Gooden 6-7-01AH, located approximately 2.5 miles west of the acreage to be acquired and completed in the Wolfcamp A interval with a 5,890' stimulated lateral, registered a strong peak 30-day initial production ("IP") rate of 1,161 Boe per day or 197 Boe per day per thousand stimulated feet. Normalized to 7,000 lateral feet, the well is outperforming the Company's 1 million Boe EUR type curve for Midland Basin Wolfcamp A/B wells by 10% after almost 90 days of production, generating 82% oil during that timeframe.
"The pending acquisition of leasehold and associated assets establishes Glasscock County as another key development area for Parsley Energy," stated Bryan Sheffield, CEO of Parsley Energy. "Offset well performance and initial results on our first horizontal well in the area suggest that the properties to be acquired may compete with the best of our existing horizontal drilling inventory, and the acquisition of associated royalty interests boosts the return profile of these properties. We continue to build a high-quality acreage footprint consisting of favorably distributed development areas that can accommodate significant rig count additions, and we believe this acquisition represents an important step toward a large-scale, basin-wide development program that can generate sustainably strong production and cash flow growth."
