Orion Diversified Announces an Acquisition in the Powder River Basin

As it happens, the company had been in the news back on Friday when it announced that it had been successful in completing the acquisition of a key royalty interest.

The royalty interest in question had been acquired in the company Converse County Wyoming and Orion Diversified Holding managed to pick up royalty interest to the tune of 0.625% in a property spanning 320 acres. In this context, it is perhaps also necessary for investors to take a look at the sort of acreage in which the company owns interests.

At this point in time, the company holds interests in acreage spanning to the tune of as much as 20561 acres. The areas in which it owns its interests are Powder River Basin, Woodford Shale, Niobrara Shale, Eagle Ford Shale, Haynesville Shale, Bakken Shale, and Permian Basin.

The Chief Executive Officer of Orion Diversified Holding also spoke about the development. He noted that considering the sort of acreage that the company now has under its control, it has now become quite frequent for it to land drill permits. He went on to note that the Permian Basin property that spans an area of as much as 9280 acres also has the requisite gas infrastructure at the producing wells. It is going to be interesting to see if the latest development leads to further interest in the stock or not this week.
