What happened
Centalion Group Ltd, formerly known as Gunvor Group, has completed the purchase of a natural gas portfolio located in Texas and Louisiana from Silver Hill Energy Partners, according to Rigzone reporting.
The transaction covers approximately 72,000 net acres situated within the Haynesville and Bossier development zones. Current production from these properties stands at roughly 300 million cubic feet per day. Furthermore, the operational footprint includes about 300 gross development locations intended for future expansion.
