Penn Virginia Corporation announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of its Eagle Ford Shale natural gas midstream assets to a newly-formed affiliate of ArcLight Capital Partners, LLC for gross cash proceeds of $100 million. This sale is expected to close during the first quarter of 2014 and is subject to customary closing conditions. Net of our partners' interest in the gross proceeds from this sale, we intend to use the remaining proceeds of approximately $95 million to help fund our 2014 capital expenditure plan.
The assets to be sold include a natural gas gathering and gas lift system including approximately 119 miles of pipelines and associated facilities located in Gonzales and Lavaca Counties, Texas. Acquest Advisors LLC, served as PVA's financial advisor in connection with the transaction.
H. Baird Whitehead, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The divestiture of our natural gas midstream assets is the first step in a series of potential divestitures which will reduce our indebtedness, improve our liquidity and fund further investment in our oily Eagle Ford Shale play."
