Sale of Water Infrastructure Assets

On October 31, 2018, certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) with an affiliate of WaterBridge Resources LLC (the Purchaser) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell its water infrastructure assets located in the Delaware Basin (the Water Assets) to Purchaser for a total purchase price of up to $325.0 million, consisting of $200.0 million payable in cash upon closing and additional incentive payments of up to $25.0 million per year for the next five years based on the Company’s ability to meet certain annual incentive thresholds relating to the number of wells connected to the Water Assets per year. The ability of the Company to achieve the incentive thresholds will be driven by, among other things, its development program which will consider future market conditions and is subject to change. The purchase price is subject to adjustment for (i) operating expenses, capital expenditures and revenues between the effective date and the closing date and (ii) environmental defects, if any.

 

The effective date of the transaction is October 1, 2018 and the transaction is expected to close in late-December 2018, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions set forth in the Agreement. The Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and Purchaser and contemplates a transition services period whereby the Company would operate the Water Assets for approximately two months following the closing and also operate the Water Assets in Monument Draw for approximately six months in order to install additional water service and treating infrastructure. In addition, the parties have agreed to negotiate in good faith prior to closing, a definitive agreement relating to certain water supply assets. While the parties have a non-binding agreement relating to the material business terms of such agreement, if they are unable to agree on a definitive agreement prior to closing, certain water supply assets will remain with the Company and $30.0 million of the cash purchase price will not be paid to the Company until such time as such definitive agreement is executed. At closing, the Company will dedicate all of the produced water from its oil and natural gas wells within the Company’s Monument Draw, Hackberry Draw and West Quito Draw operating areas to Purchaser.  Purchaser will be entitled to receive a current market price, subject to annual adjustments for inflation, in exchange for the transportation, disposal and treatment of such produced water, and assuming a definitive agreement related to the water supply assets is executed, Purchaser will be entitled to receive a market price for the supply of freshwater and recycled produced water to the Company

The Company recently completed the fall 2018 borrowing base redetermination for its Senior Credit Agreement. The Company received commitments to increase its borrowing base from $200.0 million to $275.0 million upon the closing of its water infrastructure assets sale in December 2018.
