NOG Successfully Acquires Utica Shale and Delaware Basin Operations
02/20/2024
Northern Oil and Gas (NOG) has successfully completed two acquisitions, investing $162.6 million in properties within the Utica Shale and the northern Delaware Basin.
In November 2023, NOG ventured into the Utica Shale by acquiring interests from a private seller, including less than one producing well and slightly over one well in development, spanning several counties in Ohio. These areas, primarily operated by Ascent Resources, focus on extracting oil and gas from the Point Pleasant Formation and the Utica Shale, with the Ohio assets being a significant part of this strategy.
Additionally, NOG expanded its presence in the Delaware Basin through another deal, adding interests in about 3,000 acres in New Mexico's Lea and Eddy counties. This addition complements NOG's existing stakes in the area, covering 90% of the leasehold.
Originally pegged at $174 million, the final investment was adjusted to $162.6 million, including closing costs and adjustments, paid over the end of 2023 and the start of 2024. The payment included a significant deposit made at the agreement signing, with the balance settled in early 2024, subject to final adjustments.
For the second quarter of 2023, NOG reported record quarterly production, highlighting a substantial year-over-year increase in both oil and natural gas production. This growth was part of their updated guidance, which forecasted an annual production range of 96,000 to 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (Boe/d) and set a total budgeted capital expenditure between $764 million to $800 million.

The Permian Basin, America's prime oil region, faced significant challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. The industry saw a drastic reduction in rigs and fracking crews and had to close some operations as oil prices plummeted, leading to widespread restructuring. Now, the Permian is making a strong comeback. Over the last three years, exploration and production companies (E&Ps) have increased their drilling activities. They're focusing on spending wisely and maximizing returns to their investors. The Permian's role is crucial. It was projected to contribute over 5.98 million barrels of oil per day in December, making up about 62% of the total oil production in the Lower 48 states, as per the EIA.

Landfills are essential to America’s waste management system, yet they face several operational, environmental, and regulatory challenges. With over 2600 active municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills across the country, they occupy an average of more than 600 acres, which is roughly equivalent to 500 football fields. Methane emissions from landfills contribute significantly to global warming, accounting for 15.1% of U.S. methane emissions. As the waste sector is a major contributor to methane emissions, there is a growing emphasis on improved monitoring, reduction technologies, and the integration of renewable natural gas (RNG) solutions to mitigate the impacts of these emissions.
