At current strip, proved developed producing PV10 is approximately $21.8 million.

“This sale of non-core assets is a step forward in the ongoing transformation of Amplify Energy to a low-cost, streamlined, growth-oriented enterprise,” said Amplify Energy CEO Bill Scarff.

“The Company continues to execute on its business plan by reducing debt, accelerating investment in our East Texas properties, and driving capital and operational efficiencies across all areas of our business.”
