Cabot Oil & Gas Completes Asset Sale
"The culmination of this sale finalizes our portfolio repositioning that we have been discussing for the past year," said Dan O. Dinges, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The acceleration of the realization of cash flow from these properties reloads our balance sheet and affords us maximum flexibility for our future capital programs.
"In anticipation of this sale, Cabot has added approximately $60 million to its 2006 Capital Program to expedite replacing the production wedge resulting from the sale," stated Dinges. "We expect our program to deliver substantial production and reserve growth off our new base over the next several years." Dinges added, "We also repurchased 422,300 shares of our common stock on the recent market weakness at an average cost of $45.69 per share. This brings our remaining authorization to 397,650 shares."
Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation, headquartered in Houston, Texas, is a leading independent natural gas producer with substantial interests onshore Gulf Coast; the West, with the Rocky Mountains and Mid-Continent; the East and in Canada.
