Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On May 9, 2013, the Company completed its Musser Davis 33-28 HC-1 well located in its South Bearhead Creek field in its Gulf Coast region. The seven-day initial production rate of this well was 1,006 Boe/d (75% oil). The well reached a total measured depth of 18,080 feet, with a 4,300 foot lateral targeting the Upper Wilcox “C”. The well was completed with 14 stages of fracture stimulation and cost approximately $13 million.

 

In the Company’s North Cowards Gully field, also in its Gulf Coast region, the Company previously announced the completion of the Wood 10H-1 well that produced strong initial rates for a period of nine days prior to experiencing mechanical issues that caused it to cease production.  The Company is in the process of assessing and addressing the mechanical issues so that the well can return to production.

 

The Company is furnishing certain additional information regarding the properties being acquired in the Panther Transaction (as defined in Item 8.01 below) on Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Current Report”) and incorporated by reference herein.

 

None of the information furnished in this Item 7.01 (including the related exhibits) will be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor will it be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference. The furnishing of the information in this report is not intended to, and does not, constitute a determination or admission by the Company, that the information in this report and the accompanying exhibits is material or complete, or that investors should consider this information before making an investment decision with respect to any security of the Company.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

As previously announced, on April 3, 2013, the Company and Midstates Petroleum Company LLC (“Midstates Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Panther Energy Company, LLC, Red Willow Mid-Continent, LLC and Linn Energy Holdings,

LLC (collectively, the “Sellers”), pursuant to which Midstates Sub agreed to acquire producing properties as well as undeveloped acreage in the Anadarko Basin in Texas and Oklahoma (the “Panther Transaction”). The aggregate purchase price, subject to adjustment as provided in the Agreement, consists of $620 million in cash. Consummation of the Panther Transaction is subject to various conditions, including, among others, (1) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the parties as of the closing date, including the absence of any material adverse effect with respect to the Sellers’ business, (2) the release of certain liens in connection with the repayment of the Sellers’ indebtedness, (3) the execution of certain ancillary documents and (4) other customary closing conditions. The Panther Transaction will be effective April 1, 2013 and closing is expected to occur on or about May 31, 2013. The Agreement may be terminated under customary circumstances.

 

This Current Report provides certain financial information with respect to the Panther Transaction giving effect to the Company’s acquisition as if the Panther Transaction had occurred at an earlier date. The combined statements of revenues less direct operating expenses with respect to the Panther Transaction for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2012, and the related notes thereto, together with the report of Grant Thornton LLP, independent auditors, concerning those statements and related notes, are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.
