The Oil & Gas Asset Clearinghouse to Host Lease Sale of Over 200,000 Gross and Net Acres for Anadarko Petroleum Corporation
HOUSTON, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ — The Oil & Gas Asset Clearinghouse (“The Clearinghouse”), a leading provider of acquisition and divestiture services for oil and gas properties, announced today that it has been selected by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (“Anadarko”) to provide marketing and advisory services and host a lease sale auction covering all of Anadarko’s unleased oil and gas mineral holdings in the state of Arkansas. Anadarko will offer the right to lease approximately 250,000 gross and 206,000 net acres throughout the state. Approximately 170,000 net acres are considered to be in the Fayettville Shale fairway and another approximate 5,000 acres lie within the Smackover play in southern Arkansas.
The Anadarko assets will be offered on pre-determined lease terms which will be available prior to the auction through The Clearinghouse. Royalties retained by Anadarko will range from 12.5% – 15% with primary lease terms ranging from 10 to 5 years. Lease Sales are common for state and federal agencies desiring to broadly market drilling rights to minerals; however this lease sale will be a first of its kind for a publicly held entity.
The Clearinghouse will host a two day auction on November 14-15, 2007 at the Sheraton North Houston Hotel. The auction will begin with the sale of oil and gas leases on pre-determined terms covering the Anadarko mineral position; followed by many quality producing oil and gas properties owned by various sellers including Chevron, EOG Resources, McClymond Ltd., Reef Partners, Rudman Partnership, Samson Resources, and Whiting Petroleum among others.
For more information on the Anadarko lease sale or other properties to be offered November 14-15, 2007, contact The Clearinghouse at 281-873-4600 or visit our website at http://www.ogclearinghouse.com/.
