Report summary
SM Energy announced two transactions on 18 October 2016, acquiring acreage in the Midland basin from QStar for US$1.6 billion, while divesting its non-core Williston basin assets to Oasis Petroleum for US$785 million. In the Bakken, pure-player Oasis Petroleum adds to its Williston Basin position by acquiring 55,000 net acres. This acreage includes 12,400 boe/d of flowing production from 226 gross operated wells.
