The assets include approximately 130 net drilling locations across nearly 65,000 net acres of crown land.
The assets currently considered for sale by Paramount Resources produce more than 4,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd). They include a gas plant, associated pipelines, water infrastructure, and seismic data.
Crescent said these assets are located adjacent to its existing land base. It is also expected to further increase Crescent’s scale, high-return drilling inventory and development opportunities within the basin.
