Resolute Energy closes Delaware basin Bronco acquisition

DENVER -- Resolute Energy Corporation has announced the closing of its previously announced Bronco acquisition of certain oil and gas properties located in Reeves County, Texas, for an aggregate purchase price of $160 million, adjusted for normal closing purchase price adjustments. The acquisition was financed in substantial part with proceeds received from the previously announced offering of $125 million of 8.50% Senior Notes due 2020, which closed on May 12, 2017, thereby preserving significant availability under Resolute’s revolving credit facility. 

The acquisition includes approximately 4,600 net acres in Reeves County, Texas, interests in two producing operated 4,500-ft horizontal Wolfcamp wells, six operated drilled but uncompleted Wolfcamp wells, and one non-operated 10,000-ft lateral Wolfcamp currently waiting on completion. Resolute assumed operations on the acquired properties on May 1, 2017, and commenced fracing operations on the first of six drilled but uncompleted wells on May 4.
