HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwired - Apr 9, 2013) - Renaissance Offshore LLC, a privately held Houston-based oil and gas company, announced today that it has completed its acquisition of select Black Elk Energy assets, effective January 1, 2013. The acquisition consists of three operated fields at Eugene Island 331, Ship Shoal 219 and South Timbalier 314/317 with net production of approximately 950 boepd (90% oil).
This is the third acquisition Renaissance has made since its inception in December of 2011, building production to approximately 2,750 barrels of oil per day equivalent (75% oil). Renaissance has committed to two drilling rigs and plans to begin drilling in the second quarter of 2013, while continuing with workover programs and optimization work on the initial acquisitions.
"We are excited about this transaction and the breadth it brings to our portfolio," said Jeff Soine, Chief Executive Officer at Renaissance. "Keeping with our business philosophy of exploiting mature oil fields, this acquisition allows us to add three mature properties to our asset base that have had historical production of over 100 million barrels of oil and half a trillion cubic feet of gas. When combined with the talented team of professionals we have put together and our strong relationship with our partner Quantum Energy Partners, we believe the addition of these mature oil fields will leave us well positioned for the future and continued growth."
