Enerplus Corp. retained BMO Capital Markets for the sale of a largely contiguous Bakken position within the Williston Basin in Montana.
The assets have not been a recent core focus area for Enerplus and the sale represents an area exit for the company, including all rights and depths, according to BMO.
Highlights:
- Opportunity to acquire a largely contiguous, roughly 54,000 net acre position in the heart of the prolific Elm Coulee Field in Montana’s Williston Basin (over 90% HBP)
- Proved developed producing (PDP) net production of 2,684 barrels of oil equivalent per day, 72% oil (June 2019E)
- Low decline rate of about 10%
- Strong PDP cash flow of about $30 million per year (June 2019E annualized) from 329 gross PDP wells not including saltwater disposal well
- Substantial original oil in place, with additional recovery potential from infill wells, refracs and EOR
- Proven potential for improvement in Bakken well performance driven by completion optimization and longer laterals
- Significant refrac potential with modern completion designs; wells historically completed with about 150 pounds per foot
- Cost reduction potential from additional field automation
- Company-owned saltwater disposal infrastructure helps reduce water disposal costs and can support additional volumes from future development or third parties
