CTRA's latest acquisition expands its Permian Basin footprint, enhancing growth and efficiency for a strong 2025 outlook.
U.S. oil and gas producer Coterra Energy said on Wednesday it would acquire certain assets of Avant Natural Resources and its affiliates and Franklin Mountain Energy in New Mexico for an aggregate consideration of $3.95 billion in cash and stock deals.
Coterra exceeded the high-end of its production guidance for Q3 2024. It also reported capex below the low-end of its budget for the quarter. Coterra's capital efficiency has improved, and it expects future Permian well costs that are down around 20% per lateral foot from 2023 guidance.
CTRA anticipates a capital expenditure budget for 2024 ranging from $1.75-$1.85 billion (non-GAAP), with an oil production estimate of 107-108 MBopd in the fourth quarter.
