A Late Autumn Harvest for NOG
Minnetonka may be best known for its eponymous moccasins and bedroom slippers, but this western suburb of the bustling Twin Cities is also home to the largest, publicly traded, non-operated oil and gas E&P. Formed in 2007, Northern Oil and Gas (NOG) has steadily catalyzed its investment portfolio of assets in the Permian, Williston, and Marcellus with bolt-on acquisitions that have now brought the company into that sweet territory known as Harvest Mode.
Reese Energy Consulting today is following the latest from Minn.-based NOG, which recently reported 3Q oil and natural gas sales of $511.7 million and 102.3 MBOED in production. The company announced at the time it was working through a multitude of investment opportunities—and voila!—it’s now landed two from separate undisclosed buyers for a combined $170 million and 107,657 shares of common stock.
NOG will add another 3,000 net acres in the Permian’s northern Delaware to its current 37,000 in a deal that also includes 13 producing wells, 2.8 MBOED, and 26 net undeveloped locations representing 13.5 years of drilling inventory.
The company’s second acquisition expands its natural gas assets in the Marcellus that include 62,000 net acres with an entry into the Ohio Utica shale. The Utica properties, operated by Ascent Resources, currently produce 23 MMCFD. NOG has big expectations and plans in 2024 for its Permian acquisition—now its largest asset—as well as its Utica buy. The company estimates combined production of 6.5 MBOED and up to $62.5 million in cash flow. How sweet it is. What do you think?

Rollin Coal!
1moNope I don’t like seeing this change. It’s another way to short the drivers for all the time and money they spend to work y’all’s crews. When the cost of everything is four times the amount. Every time we lose momentum in the patch and it comes back, pay is cheaper and we don’t get our detention time while eating maintenance costs along with other things being out in the field! It’s definitely good for yall cause hauling wet sand eliminates water haulers and does some of the pumpers job and we haul same weight but with less sand so it’s a justification for yall to lower rates. Meanwhile the carriers are out there extremely desperate to make a name or make new contacts but at out expense…. They can under bid a job by 20 percent or more and to make that margin up we end up paying for it! They get to go home to the wife and kids on holidays and lie about yall needing us around when barely anything is happening so that we are already staged and ready to go when holidays are done. It would be real nice to swap shoes with you guys so yall can see what we drivers actually do to help build your industry and careers….
