Newfield Exploration Co. (NYSE: NFX) has closed on the sale of its Granite Wash assets. As previously announced, the purchase price was $588 million (after-tax proceeds were approximately $582 million). Proceeds will be used to call Newfield's 71/8 % senior subordinated notes due 2018.
As a result of the sale, Newfield adjusted its 2014 production guidance and provided an estimate for its Granite Wash volumes in 2014-16. Full-year net production from Granite Wash in 2014-16 would have been approximately 4 MMBOE, 3.1 MMBOE and 2.7 MMBOE, respectively. Over the three-year period, production from the Granite Wash would have been approximately two-thirds natural gas. Adjusted for the sale's closing date, 2014's net production impact is expected to be approximately 1 MMBOE.
Consistent with the company's annual planning and budgeting process, Newfield expects to update its three-year plan in February 2015.
Newfield is based in The Woodlands, Texas.
