MELBOURNE, Australia--Australian oil and natural gas producer AWE Ltd. (AWE.AU) aims to wipe out its debt with a deal to sell a minority position in a Texas shale-energy operation.
AWE said Wednesday it has agreed to sell its 10% working interest in the Marathon Oil Corp.-operated (MRO) Sugerloaf project to Carrier Energy Partners II LLC for US$190 million, before tax, plus an additional US$9 million for past drilling costs.
The proceeds will be used to repay debt, leaving AWE with a net cash position of about 60 million Australian dollars (US$42 million), it said.
AWE said the sale is expected to generate a non-cash profit after tax of about A$16 million.
The Sugerloaf project in the Eagle Ford region of Texas covers about 24,000 acres. Marathon Oil has a 55% stake in the project, and Baytex Ltd. has about 28% through subsidiaries.
