Gastar Exploration Inc. has completed the previously announced sale of its interest in the West Edmond Hunton Lime Unit for USD 107.5 million, adjusted for the effective date of October 1, 2017 and resulting in net cash proceeds of $98.8 million at closing. The WEHLU encompasses only the Upper and Lower Hunton producing formations and is primarily located in Oklahoma and Logan counties, Oklahoma.

Michael A. Gerlich, Gastar’s senior vice president and chief financial officer, commented, “The completion of this asset divestiture allows Gastar to redirect funds from a non-core asset to the drilling of operated Osage and Meramec wells on our 67,000 net surface acres in our core STACK position. This level of activity will allow us to continue to both delineate our acreage for the Osage and Meramec formations as well as hold our acreage by production.”

Meanwhile, Gastar Exploration Inc. is a pure play Mid-Continent independent energy company engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil, condensate, natural gas and natural gas liquids.
