Item 8.01 Other Events
On November 21, 2013 we issued a press release, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, announcing that we had entered into an agreement with Ursa Resources Group II LLC to acquire 70% of its interests in certain oil and gas properties in Burleson and Washington Counties, Texas for $66.5 million. The properties being acquired include one well producing 433 barrels of oil equivalent (227 net to the interest being acquired) and approximately 32,000 gross acres (20,000 net) that are prospective for oil in the East Texas Eagle Ford shale formation. The properties are near successful Eagle Ford wells drilled by other industry participants. We expect to complete the acquisition during this quarter, which is subject to customary closing conditions and adjustments contained in the purchase agreement. We anticipate moving one of our operated rigs to these properties in early 2014 and estimate that we will drill ten operated wells on this acreage in 2014.
The information in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
