Resource Energy LLC Announces Acquisition in the Bakken Play

Resource Energy Can-Am LLC (“Resource Energy”) announced today that it has purchased assets operated by an undisclosed seller in the Bakken Play in Divide County, North Dakota. Under the terms of the agreement, Resource Energy purchased assets including 19 wells, 750 net BOEPD and proved producing net reserves of 2.2 MMBOE. The transaction closed on May 23, 2019.

This acquisition follows Resource Energy’s previously announced acquisitions of interests from American Eagle Energy Corporation, Samson Resources Company, and Blue Ridge Mountain Resources. This acquisition is Resource Energy’s fifth acquisition in Divide County, marking it as a major producer and operator in the basin.

Paul Favret, CEO and President of Resource Energy, stated, “We are excited to have completed the purchase of these significant assets. Resource relied on its leading-edge knowledge of Bakken geology, valuation and opportunities in pursuing this acquisition. The transaction further expands the company’s operating footprint in the Williston Basin, and is highly complementary to our existing position in the play. Resource Energy expects to further improve margins and operating efficiencies by reducing LOE, transportation costs, and overhead per produced barrel. We are aggressively growing in the Bakken and look forward to integrating these assets into our expanding portfolio.” In 2019, Resource Energy also plans to drill and complete several new wells in its extensive inventory of undrilled locations.

With the acquisition, Resource Energy has accumulated a substantial acreage position in the Williston Basin of over 120,000 net acres, proven reserves of approximately 33 MMBOE (14.2 MMBOE proved-producing), and an interest in 416 wells (205 operated).
