Deutsche Rohstoff: Salt Creek closes acquisition of North Dakota Oil and
Gas production
Mannheim/Denver. Salt Creek Energy, a 90% subsidiary of Deutsche Rohstoff
AG, closed the transaction to acquire oil- and gas production in North
Dakota that was announced on November 22nd today. The purchase price
amounts to USD 38.1 million, effective date of the transaction is September
1st.
As part of the financing, Salt Creek agreed on a reserved based lending
facility with its lender, BOK Financial. It allows the company to borrow up
to USD 12.5 million of which it will draw down USD 9 million initially. The
annual interest rate on the facility is variable and currently standing at
3.74%.
In addition to the lending facility, Salt Creek sold its lease holdings in
Oklahoma as part of the funding of the acquisition. It had purchased
approximately 215 acres of developed acreage in the so-called STACK as part
of the Anadarko basin in June and August 2016. The respective sale also
closed today. The sales price amounted to USD 2 million, resulting in a
profit of USD 550.000 to Salt Creek.
In the meantime, Salt Creek also obtained a reserve report on the acquired
assets. It was issued by a leading third party reserve engineering firm in
the United States. The reserve value amounts to USD 50.4 million of which
USD 31.1 million belong to the proved category whereas the remaining value
splits between probable and possible reserves. The reserve report was
calculated based on the BOK Financial bank WTI price deck as of October
2016. The implicit average WTI price for the next 5 years is USD 51.5 per
barrel of oil.
Tim Sulser, CEO and President of Salt Creek Energy, noted: "We are pleased
to close our first significant acquisition. We now own a quality asset and
will work to continue to grow it. I am excited about our ability to create
additional value as we move forward. "
