TG Natural Resources (TGNR) is the winning bidder against other Haynesville Shale E&Ps in year-long negotiations with Chevron Corp. for what is considered the last block of undeveloped Haynesville leasehold.
Chevron Corp. reported that TGNR will pay $525 million for a 70% interest in the property. Of this, Chevron will receive $75 million in cash and $450 million as a capital carry to fund D&C of the leasehold’s Haynesville rights.
Chevron retains a 30% non-operated interest in the joint venture and an overriding royalty interest (ORRI) in the assets. Chevron estimates the deal is valued to it at $1.2 billion at current Henry Hub futures.
Tokyo Gas’ Houston-based Haynesville pureplay TGNR will gain the 70% working interest in 71,000 net contiguous acres, all in Panola County, Texas. The Japan-based utility confirmed the deal in a separate announcement.

U.S. benchmark oil prices on Monday looked to end the month higher, buoyed by threats to global supplies, but they were still registering a loss for the quarter as the Trump administration's plan to implement reciprocal tariffs on Wednesday raised the potential for demand destruction.
