Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. Announces Closing of VEN Bakken Acquisition,
Acquired Assets Outperforming Prior Expectations
MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA - July 2, 2019 - Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (NYSE American: NOG) ("Northern") announced today that it has
closed on the previously announced acquisition of properties owned by VEN Bakken, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Flywheel Bakken, LLC, in the core of the Williston Basin. The acquired assets are outperforming Northern's initial estimates
with an increase in both current producing wells and wells in process.
HIGHLIGHTS
•
Production from the acquired assets is now expected to average approximately 6,650 barrels of oil equivalent
("Boe") per day in the third quarter of 2019 and approximately 7,000 Boe per day in the fourth quarter of 2019, an increase from Northern's prior estimate of 6,600 Boe per day
(2-stream).
•
The acquired assets now consist of 87.8 net producing wells, an increase of 0.9 net wells, and 4.1 net wells in
process, an increase of 1.4 net wells. In addition, Northern now estimates that the acquired assets include an additional 45.6 net undrilled locations of future drilling inventory.
MANAGEMENT COMMENT
"The VEN Bakken acquisition has
closed exactly on schedule and is performing better than our initial forecast", commented Northern's Chief Executive Officer, Brandon Elliott. "These assets will help drive our debt adjusted cash flow per share higher and our general
and administrative expenses per barrel lower. We have also helped to protect the additional cash flows from operations with the hedges we put in place at the time of the announcement".
