In the Delaware Basin, Petro-Hunt Permian, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petro-Hunt, L.L.C., has acquired oil and gas production and leasehold properties in northwest Reeves and northeast Culberson counties from APR Operating LLC. The terms of the transaction weren't disclosed as of yet.

The company on the other side of the deal is a privately held E&P. It specializes in the acquisition and development of oil and gas properties in the Permian Basin. Its majority owners are funds managed by private equity firms Ares Management LP and Pine Brook. Admiral Permian Resources is headquartered in Midland, Texas.

APR's acquired assets include predominantly operated oil and gas production along with 21,430 net acres of leasehold located in the Delaware Basin. Oil and gas production from those assets amounted to 7,000 barrels/day (bbl/d) and 100 million cubic feet (MMcf/d) last year respectively. To take advantage of it, Petro-Hunt plans to begin an active development drilling program on these assets in the coming months.

When it comes to Petro-Hunt's own circumstances, its origins date to the first quarter of the 20th century. They are also a privately owned E&P company. In addition to operating 775 oil wells and contributing to over 8,100 non-operated wells, it is ranked among the nation's top 10 private liquids (oil) producers. And with the acquisition of APR assets, Petro-Hunt now has approximately 57,000 bbl/d of oil production and 220 MMcf/d of gas production.

Kirkland & Ellis advised APR Operating LLC (Admiral) in its definitive agreements to sell its oil and gas in the Permian Basin to Petro-Hunt LLC (Petrohunt). The purchase and sale agreement was executed on Jan. 11, 2022, and closed on March 9, 2022.
