DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Elk Range Royalties (“Elk Range”) is pleased to announce it has acquired certain Eagle Ford Basin mineral and royalty interests (“the Acquired Assets”) from an undisclosed private seller.
The Acquired Assets include roughly 1,700 net royalty acres (“NRAs”) across DeWitt, Gonzales, and Karnes counties. This acquisition marks the third Eagle Ford Basin deal closed this year and is the largest single purchase the Elk Range team has made in the basin to date. The Acquired Assets include 385 producing gross locations and approximately 2.1 net wells operated by top operators such as EOG, Devon, and Marathon Oil. This brings Elk Range’s total ownership in this basin to over 2,700 NRA across DeWitt, Gonzales, Karnes, Webb, and Zavala counties. Elk Range funded the acquisition through its equity commitment from NGP Royalty Partners II, L.P.
