HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
On January 29, 2016, Houston-based Haymaker Resources closed on the
acquisition of mineral and royalty interests from certain affiliates of
Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake Energy Corporation. The acquisition
includes producing and non-producing mineral and royalty interests
associated with over 8,500 wells across 24 states and 324 counties. The
majority of production comes from the Mid-Continent, Haynesville, and
Appalachia regions. Final closing price is subject to post-closing
adjustments.
Haymaker CEO Karl Brensike said, “In the current market environment,
operators are focusing on their core assets more than ever before. I
think everyone can agree that there is nothing more non-core to an
operator than owning non-operated royalty interests. This was a complex
transaction, involving numerous business units formed over Chesapeake’s
30 years as a very active acquirer of premier oil and gas assets. I am
proud of our team, which is uniquely capable of executing these types of
transactions. We are fortunate to have a capital structure that allows
us to continue acquiring aggressively throughout the current commodity
cycle.”
DLA Piper advised Haymaker on the transaction.
