中国石化新闻网讯 据美国钻井网站2023年1月2日报道， 美国马拉松石油公司已经完成了对Ensign自然资源公司在鹰福特盆地的资产的收购，价值30亿美元。此次资产收购在2022年11月初公布后不久就完成了。
马拉松石油公司董事长、总裁兼首席执行官李·蒂尔曼表示：“我们很高兴地宣布，我们完成了对Ensign自然资源公司在鹰福特页岩核心地区的优质资产的收购。”“此次资产收购满足了我们严格的收购标准的所有要素。它将立即增加我们的关键财务指标，它将推动更高的股东分配，与我们的运营现金流驱动的资本回报框架相一致，它将增加我们的库存寿命，有吸引力的地点可以立即争夺资本，考虑到我们现有的鹰福特盆地足迹和我们在该远景区的卓越执行记录，它提供了真正令人信服的工业逻辑。”

马拉松石油公司这些资产的估值是基于这个维持水平计划，不包括任何协同信用或上行再开发机会。收购的有形资产可以全额计入费用，以优化所得税，包括可能推迟AMT。

Marathon Oil Completes $3B Eagle Ford Assets Purchase
Marathon Oil Corporation has closed the purchase of the Eagle Ford assets from Ensign Natural Resources valued at $3 billion. The acquisition was closed soon after it was unveiled at the start of November 2022.
"We are pleased to announce the close of our acquisition of Ensign's high-quality assets in the core of the Eagle Ford Shale," said chairman, president, and CEO Lee Tillman. "This acquisition satisfies every element of our disciplined acquisition criteria. It's immediately accretive to our key financial metrics, it will drive higher shareholder distributions consistent with our operating cash flow driven Return of Capital framework, it's accretive to our inventory life with attractive locations that immediately compete for capital, and it offers truly compelling industrial logic given our existing Eagle Ford footprint and our track record of execution excellence in the play."
The assets acquired from Ensign Natural Resources (99 percent operated, 97 percent working interest) span Live Oak, Bee, Karnes, and Dewitt Counties across the condensate, wet gas, and dry gas phase windows of the Eagle Ford. Marathon Oil believes it can deliver maintenance level production from the acquired asset of 67,000 net boepd (22,000 net bopd of oil) with approximately 1 rig and 35 to 40 wells.
The company's valuation of the asset was based off this maintenance level program and does not include any synergy credits or upside redevelopment opportunity. Acquired tangible assets are eligible for full expensing for the purpose of income tax optimization, including potential deferral of AMT.
