Morningstar | WPX Energy Brings 2019 Asset Sales Over $500 Million
On April 2 WPX Energy announced that it will receive approximately $350 million in proceeds following the divestiture of the Oryx II pipeline (WPX holds a 25% equity interest). The transaction will not impact WPX's access to the pipeline, which gives it 100,000 barrels per day of firm crude oil capacity between the Delaware and Midland Basins. WPX invested $93 million in the Oryx II project during 2018, of which $23 million increased its equity stake by 12.5%. The sale of this asset will not impact reported unit costs as it was treated as an equity investment and therefore not consolidated.Combined, the proceeds of this transaction and the previously announced divestiture of its Whitewater Midstream equity holding sum to $550 million, which was fully accounted for in our previous model. Accordingly, there is no change to our fair value estimate.
WPX Energy is an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company engaged in the exploitation and development of long-life unconventional properties. The company is focused on exploiting, developing and growing its oil positions in the Delaware Basin (a subset of the Permian Basin) in Texas and New Mexico and the Williston Basin in North Dakota.
