Red Wolf Natural Resources LLC struck its first acquisition on May 20 with the purchase of a large acreage position in Oklahoma shale plays where management of the newly-formed E&P company already have a successful track record.
Red Wolf said it acquired roughly 56,000 net acres and associated production in Oklahoma’s Scoop, Stack and Merge plays as well as the broader Anadarko Basin. The Oklahoma City-based company didn’t disclose the seller and value of the transaction.
The acquisition, comprised of contiguous acreage positions that the company said support extended-lateral drilling, marks the return of Red Wolf’s founders to the Oklahoma resource plays.
Red Wolf was formed in February with an equity commitment from Dallas-based energy investment firm Pearl Energy Investments. The value of the commitment wasn’t disclosed.
The company’s founders, led by CEO Drew Deaton and COO Jeff Dahlberg, have experience in the Anadarko Basin region as well as the Denver-Julesburg Basin from when the pair previously worked together at Ward Energy Partners LLC.
“We are excited to announce our re-entry into Oklahoma’s prolific Scoop, Stack and Merge plays with the acquisition of these assets,” Deaton said in a statement on May 20. “Our leadership team has a successful track record in and deep knowledge of this area from our prior experience.”
Red Wolf’s acquisition includes proven well results in primary target zones plus existing infrastructure and agreements with “top-tier” midstream operators in the region, according to the company press release.
Deaton called Red Wolf’s acquisition as strategic and said the transaction represents both near-term and long-term value for the company.
“We think that the Scoop, Stack and Merge plays combine many important characteristics of top-tier hydrocarbon plays, including multiple benches of stacked pay which provide compelling economic returns and repeatable results,” he added.
Thompson & Knight LLP and Kirkland & Ellis LLP were legal advisers to Red Wolf for the acquisition.
