The company has been part of the developments since 2017.
Gutterman said Beacon will now allocate 100% of “our focus and resources to our deep inventory of operated properties. Driven by our existing sanctioned operated developments, including Shenandoah and Winterfell, we expect to deliver material production and cash flow growth commencing in the second quarter 2024 and continuing through 2025.”
Jefferies International Ltd. served as financial adviser to Beacon and Kirkland & Ellis LLP served as legal adviser.
