Lime Rock Resources to Acquire Oil & Gas Producing Properties in Texas

8/2/2018

Houston, August 2, 2018 — Lime Rock Resources, acquirers and operators of producing oil and gas properties in the United States, announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire oil and natural gas properties primarily in Montague, Wise, Denton, and Cooke Counties, Texas for approximately $230 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The transaction represents Lime Rock Resources’ first acquisition in the Fort Worth Basin. The transaction is expected to close by year-end 2018, subject to customary closing conditions.

Eric Mullins, co-CEO of Lime Rock Resources, said, “The recent acquisition provides the Lime Rock Resources fund with an entry into the liquids rich Barnett portion of the Fort Worth, which is a basin that we have been attracted to for several years. The acquisition comes with about 114,000 net acres and has relatively low associated water production rates.” Charlie Adcock, co-CEO of Lime Rock Resources, added, “We look forward to applying our operational improvement strategies to a property in a new basin. The assets provide the acquiring fund with robust cash flow and substantial horizontal development opportunities.”
