Blackbuck Resources LLC, which designs, builds, and operates water infrastructure, announced it has closed on a transaction to purchase Cimarex Energy Co.’s Whites City water infrastructure in Eddy County, N.M. The acquired assets include approximately 65 miles of pipeline and 100,000 barrels per day of installed and permitted disposal capacity. As part of the sale, Cimarex has agreed to a 15-year acreage dedication in the Whites City area, which encompasses more than 40,000 acres, for the gathering, disposal and recycling of its produced water.
“This investment represents another significant milestone for Blackbuck, further validating our unique value proposition and industry-leading platform,” said Justin Love, CEO of Blackbuck Resources. “We are excited to establish long-term alignment with Cimarex, a company which continues to demonstrate and build on its strong reputation as a thought leader in our industry. This acquisition will significantly grow our Delaware Basin platform and overall footprint, further enhancing Blackbuck’s ability to provide our customers economic and reliable water management solutions.”
