SilverBow Successfully Completes $700MM Purchase of Chesapeake’s South Texas Holdings
12/07/2023
SilverBow Resources Inc. finished buying Chesapeake Energy Corp.'s oil and gas areas in South Texas. They agreed to this $700 million deal back in August.
The deal included SilverBow paying $650 million in cash when the deal was closed. They will also pay another $50 million in cash a year later, with some usual changes in the amount. Chesapeake might get an additional $50 million later, depending on the prices of oil and gas in the future.
SilverBow paid for this big purchase with the money they had, by borrowing from their credit line, and by selling more of their second lien notes.
“Our strategy of growth and acquisitions has led us to a stronger financial position, a more diverse mix of commodities, and a collection of prime locations in a strategically beneficial basin. The assets we’ve acquired from Chesapeake significantly add to our ability to choose the best projects for capital investment and offer immediate competition for capital.”
- Sean Woolverton, the CEO of SilverBow
Expectations
- The company anticipates that over 40% of its full-year production will be oil and natural gas liquids.
- For 2024, SilverBow is planning to enhance its capital program to develop the Chesapeake assets. This includes operating two rigs on liquid-rich fields and one on dry gas fields, as stated by Woolverton.
- The company does not plan any additional capital expenditures specifically for these newly acquired assets.
- SilverBow expects a significant increase in oil production in 2024, projecting about a 70% rise from the previous year, aiming for an average output of 25,000 barrels per day.

Agrivoltaics: Merging Solar Power and Farming Across the USA – Promise, Problems, and the Path Ahead
Agrivoltaics, a combination of agriculture and solar power generation on the same land, is quickly gaining traction across the United States as a solution to balancing the demand for renewable energy and the need to preserve farmland. As the country pushes toward its goal of achieving net-zero emissions, solar power is expected to play a significant role in this transition. However, concerns about the loss of agricultural land have led to the rise of agrivoltaics, where farming and solar energy production coexist.
The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season has hit Florida hard, with Hurricanes Helene and Milton exposing the vulnerabilities in the state's energy infrastructure.
