Northern Oil and Gas closes Ohio Utica acquisition and upsizes credit facility

Neutral Impact 4 of 5 m&a Written later

Northern Oil and Gas closed its joint acquisition of non-operated Ohio Utica Shale upstream and midstream interests from Antero on February 23, 2026, taking a 40% stake alongside INR's 60%. The same day, Northern amended its revolving credit facility, raising the elected commitment to $1.8 billion and the borrowing base to $1.975 billion, which the company said adds $200 million of liquidity.

Key points

  • Closing payment by Northern was $464.5 million in cash, including a $58.8 million deposit paid at signing, subject to post-closing settlements with Antero
  • Northern's unadjusted purchase price share is $480 million: $320 million for the upstream assets and $160 million for the midstream assets
  • Northern funded the deal with cash on hand, operating free cash flow and revolver borrowings
  • Credit facility elected commitment rose from $1.6 billion to $1.8 billion with Wells Fargo as administrative agent; other terms were described as substantially unchanged
