SM Energy Company (SM) recently released an update on its position in the Eagle Ford Shale located in LaSalle County and Dimmit County, TX.
SM Energy Company has entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of Mitsui & Co., Ltd. concerning a 12.5% working interest in its non-operated Eagle Ford shale position. The Company will be carried on 90% of its drilling and completion costs (excluding costs associated with construction of mid-stream gathering assets) in this acreage until $680 million has been expended for the benefit of SM Energy. The purchaser will also reimburse SM Energy for the purchaser's share of capital expenditures and other costs, net of revenues, related to the period between the effective date of March 1, 2011, and the closing date. These reimbursed costs (net of revenues), estimated to range between $20 and $40 million, will be payable to SM Energy at closing and the Company will apply these funds to the remaining 10% of SM Energy's drilling and completion costs in this acreage. As a result, the Company will effectively be 100% carried until this reimbursement amount is exhausted. Once the reimbursement dollars have been expended, the Company will remain 90% carried until the remaining portion of the $680 million carry has been spent. The purchaser will also reimburse SM Energy for 50% of the Company's total capital investment expenditures in the related mid-stream assets in which the purchaser is acquiring an interest. This reimbursement is estimated to range between $20 and $30 million. The use of the reimbursement proceeds related to the mid-stream assets is not restricted and the proceeds will be treated as proceeds from divestitures in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Closing is anticipated to occur during the third quarter of 2011 and is subject to customary closing conditions and transaction fees.
After the closing of this transaction, SM Energy will have approximately 46,000 net acres in the non-operated portion of its Eagle Ford shale position, down from roughly 85,000 net acres. The Company's average working interest in this acreage will be reduced from approximately 27% to 14.5%. Reported average daily production from the Company's total non-operated Eagle Ford shale position at the end of the first quarter was 43.5 MMCFE/D (42% oil, 36% natural gas, and 22% NGLs). Proved reserves associated with the Company's total non-operated Eagle Ford shale position as of December 31, 2010 were 52 BCFE (52% proved undeveloped).
SM Energy will have roughly 196,000 net acres in the Eagle Ford shale, of which approximately 75% will be operated by the Company, after this transaction and the previously announced divestiture of Eagle Ford assets in LaSalle and Dimmit Counties, Texas are consummated. The size and timing of these transactions vary from the assumptions made in the Company's issued guidance, as these transactions are expected to close later in the year than originally anticipated and SM Energy is retaining a larger position in the Eagle Ford than was originally assumed. As a result, reported production and capital expenditures for the year will exceed the Company's currently published guidance. The Company will provide full capital, production, and cost guidance updates for the remainder of 2011, as well as preliminary capital and production guidance for 2012 in its second quarter earnings release.
SM Energy was advised on the transaction by Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Tony Best, President and CEO, remarked, "I am pleased to announce the final phase of our planned Eagle Ford sell down effort. Combined with our previously announced LaSalle and Dimmit Counties Eagle Ford divestiture, we are generating nearly $1 billion in funds that will allow us to further develop our Eagle Ford assets while locking in some solid returns and maintaining a strong balance sheet. This specific transaction allows us to continue participating in the development of high value Eagle Ford assets, while providing us more control over our capital investment decisions."

Enterprise Product Partners (EPD) and Chesapeake Energy Corp (CHK): Eagle Ford Shale Update
By Andrea: http://oilshalegas.com
Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (EPD) recently announced that they recently entered into a 10-year agreement with Chesapeake Energy Corp. (CHK) to handle a large portion of their natural gas production in the Eagle Ford Shale:
Chesapeake's gross acreage position currently comprises more than 625,000 acres in and around the oil and natural gas liquids - rich areas of the Eagle Ford Shale across Dimmit, LaSalle, McMullen, Webb, and Zavala counties located in South Texas. The agreements provide Chesapeake with a comprehensive package of midstream natural gas and NGL services, including firm commitments for gas transportation, processing, and NGL transportation and fractionation services.
"We are extremely pleased with our new agreements with Chesapeake, which represent one of the largest single producer commitments to date for Enterprise in the Eagle Ford Shale," said Michael A. Creel, Enterprise's president and chief executive officer. "The deal with Chesapeake marks the fifth major midstream transaction Enterprise has executed with Eagle Ford Shale producers in the past year, reflecting the strategic importance of our integrated and expanding assets serving the various demands of producers in the prolific region."
Enterprise has previously announced long-term commitments with Petrohawk, EOG, Anadarko and Pioneer.
Chesapeake's NGL-rich natural gas will initially be gathered and compressed by Chesapeake affiliate, Chesapeake Midstream Development, LLC, for delivery to a central location. Enterprise will then transport and process the NGL-rich gas at its existing facilities while a previously announced natural gas processing plant that is currently under development in Texas is completed. This cryogenic processing facility, expected to be completed early in 2012, is designed for an initial capacity of 600 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) and with an initial capability to extract as many as 75,000 barrels per day (BPD) of NGLs.
The NGL production from Chesapeake's gas will ultimately be transported on Enterprise's previously announced 127-mile NGL pipeline that will extend from the new gas processing plant to Enterprise's NGL fractionation complex in Mont Belvieu, Texas. This new NGL pipeline, also scheduled for completion in early 2012, is expected to have an initial capacity of more than 85,000 BPD and would be readily expandable to over 120,000 BPD.
Activity in the Eagle Ford Shale continues to increase as approximately 115 rigs working in the play have drilled more than 330 wells completed to date. Total current production from the play is estimated at approximately 425 MMcf/d of natural gas and 35,000 BPD of crude oil and condensate.

Oil Production Rates - Eagle Ford Shale - Carrizo Oil & Gas CRZO
By Tim - http://oilshalegas.com
Carrizo Oil & Gas (CRZO) has come out an given an update on their Eagle Ford Shale well production.
Carrizo Oil & Gas Announces Initial Production Rates for Its First Two Eagle Ford Shale Wells and Updates Niobrara Activity.
11/30/2010 -- Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRZO) today is providing an operational update on the Company's activities in the Eagle Ford Shale and Niobrara Formation. Carrizo's initial two Eagle Ford Shale wells were drilled from a common surface location in central La Salle County, Texas. The Mumme Ranch 10H was drilled with a 5,493 foot horizontal leg and was completed with 15 frac stages. The Mumme Ranch 12H was drilled with a 5,455 foot horizontal leg and was completed with 19 frac stages. Following the flow-back of completion fluids, the two wells were tested for production potential beginning on November 20, 2010. The Mumme 10H had a 24-hour initial production rate of 1,011 barrels of oil per day ("Bopd") while the Mumme 12H had a 24-hour initial production rate of 1,220 Bopd. Production from this two-well pad appears to have stabilized at the current combined rate of approximately 1,125 barrels of oil per day. Approximately 2 million cubic feet per day of 1,367 btu per mcf natural gas is currently being flared pending connection to a gas gathering pipeline. Carrizo has a 100% working interest and a 75% net revenue interest in these two wells.
Hydraulic fracture stimulation activities have been completed on the Company's next Eagle Ford well, the Pierce 10H, located to the southwest of the Mumme wells, and the well has commenced flow-back today. It is currently anticipated that initial production results for this well should be available before the end of the year. Carrizo owns approximately 20,000 net acres in the Eagle Ford Shale play, the majority of which are located in the condensate window of La Salle, Dimmit, and McMullen Counties. In addition to the three wells mentioned in this announcement, Carrizo has drilled two other Eagle Ford horizontal wells in La Salle County which are currently waiting on completion, expected to begin in the first quarter of 2011.
