Mach CEO Tom Ward said: “This was a unique opportunity to acquire a sizeable cash-flowing asset with the supporting midstream infrastructure, through a bankruptcy process, in an area of our team’s expertise and still have an extensive inventory for future development. Our strategic aim in partnership with BCE has been to aggressively consolidate and maximize underdeveloped, undercapitalized or otherwise distressed areas in the Mid-Continent. We have been successful in buying assets at a discount, increasing production in a cost-effective manner and avoiding overspending. In a lot of ways, we have gone back to the fundamentals that were true when I began my career.”

BCE Founder and Managing Partner Will McMullen added: “BCE is thrilled to be making another attractive acquisition in the Mid-Continent in conjunction with Mach Resources. We know these particular assets well and are confident that the Mach team will be able to operate them in a manner suitable to the current macro environment, focused on maximizing free cash flow generation and delivering a sustainable, conservatively leveraged return to our investors. We continue to be encouraged by the opportunities we see to further consolidate assets in the Mid-Continent under the BCE-Mach banner.”

This acquisition represents the sixth acquisition by partnerships between BCE and Mach. To date, BCE-Mach LLC has made three acquisitions in the Mississippi Lime, and BCE-Mach II LLC has made two acquisitions in the Western Anadarko Basin. This acquisition of AMH and KFM represents the first acquisition in the newly formed BCE-Mach III LLC. Following closing, on a combined basis, the BCE-Mach partnerships will have net daily production of ~58 Mboe/d, interests in over 5,700 wells and ~500,000 net acres across the Mid-Continent.
