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.
