Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On October 15, 2014, Marathon Oil Corporation completed the sale to Det norske oljeselskap ASA of our subsidiary, Marathon Oil Norge AS ("MONAS"), for proceeds of approximately $2.1 billion, after adjustment for debt, net working capital and interest on the net purchase price. The effective date of the transaction is January 1, 2014. The sale includes the operated Alvheim floating production, storage and offloading vessel, 10 operated licenses and a number of non-operated licenses on the Norwegian Continental Shelf in the North Sea. Full-year 2013 net production in Norway averaged approximately 80,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
