特許權(quán)使用費(fèi)利息按比例減少2%

據(jù)OGJ網(wǎng)站7月19日?qǐng)?bào)道，美國(guó)油氣生產(chǎn)巨頭沃思堡的蘭吉資源公司(Range Resources)報(bào)告稱已同意將阿巴拉契亞西南部350，000凈英畝的權(quán)益按比例減少2%，總收益為6億美元。

這個(gè)單獨(dú)交易今年3月1日生效，適用于現(xiàn)有和未來(lái)的馬塞勒斯、尤蒂卡和上泥盆統(tǒng)開(kāi)發(fā)的主題租約。這些交易排除了更淺、更深的前景。

這些資產(chǎn)在今年第一季度產(chǎn)生了19億立方英尺天然氣當(dāng)量。 根據(jù)今年的上半年定價(jià)，與這些壓倒一切的特許權(quán)使用費(fèi)銷(xiāo)售相關(guān)的年度現(xiàn)金流量預(yù)計(jì)將達(dá)到4800萬(wàn)美元。

另外，Range還完成了賓夕法尼亞州某些非生產(chǎn)用地的銷(xiāo)售，總收益為3400萬(wàn)美元。該銷(xiāo)售于6月結(jié)束。 出售的資產(chǎn)包括位于阿姆斯特朗西北部的2萬(wàn)英畝土地。Range表示，旨在將更多非核心資產(chǎn)貨幣化的銷(xiāo)售過(guò)程仍在進(jìn)行中。

特許權(quán)使用費(fèi)利息交易定于本月結(jié)束，其收益將用于償還公司循環(huán)信貸機(jī)制下的未償款項(xiàng)。

Range稱，總計(jì)6.34億美元的總收益將使債務(wù)總額減少17%。預(yù)計(jì)年度利息支出將減少3000萬(wàn)美元，并抵消與特許權(quán)使用費(fèi)銷(xiāo)售有關(guān)的大量現(xiàn)金流量減少。

Range divests assets in deals worth a total $634 million

Range Resources Corp., Fort Worth, reported it has agreed to sell a 2% proportionately reduced overriding royalty interest in 350,000 net surface acres in southwest Appalachia for gross proceeds totaling $600 million.

Thetransaction, which are effective Mar. 1, apply to existing and future Marcellus, Utica, and Upper Devonian development on the subject leases. These deals exclude shallower and deeper horizons.

The properties produced 1.9 bcfd of natural gas equivalent in this year’s first quarter. Annualized cash flow associated with these overriding royalty sales is expected to reach $48 million, based on this year’s first-half pricing.

Separately, Range also completed the sale of certain nonproducing acreage in Pennsylvania for gross proceeds of $34 million. That sale closed in June. The properties sold included 20,000 acres in northwest Armstrong County. Sale processes to monetize additional noncore assets remain under way, Range said.

The royalty interest transactions are scheduled to close this month with proceeds utilized to repay amounts outstanding under the company’s revolving credit facility.

The combined gross proceeds of $634 million will reduce total debt by 17%, Range said. Annual interest expense is expected to decline by $30 million and offset a substantial amount of the cash flow reduction associated with the royalty sales.
