Hi Jim - I wonder if WPZ will be involved w/ this investment. WMB may structure the deal where WPZ develops and operates the gathering & processing side. Williams Buys $925 Million Stake in Bakken Oil Play noir.bloomberg.com From the article:"...The property has potential reserves equivalent to 185 million barrels of oil in the Middle Bakken and the Upper Three Forks formations, Williams said in a statement today. The property has 24 existing wells producing 3,300 barrels of oil a day, the company said. “They are getting production with the acres, so it’s actually a better deal than it looks on a per-acre basis,” said Lasan Johong, a New York-based analyst for RBC Capital Markets who rates the shares “sector perform” and owns none. “It’s in the core of the Bakken.” <snip> "...RBC calculates Williams is paying about $8,000 a net acre when production is included, less than Enerplus Resources Fund agreed to pay in September for leases in the same area, he said...." =================================================================== The adjusted price paid per acre turns out to be a potential "Value" price.
