Black Stone Minerals enters development agreement with Revenant Energy

Black Stone Minerals (BSM) announces that it has entered into a development agreement with Revenant Energy with respect to the Partnership’s expanded Shelby Trough Haynesville and Bossier acreage, primarily located in Angelina, Nacogdoches, and San Augustine counties in Texas. Separately, the Partnership has agreed to amend the existing development agreements with Aethon Energy in Angelina and San Augustine counties. As part of this amendment, Aethon will return to the Partnership highly prospective mineral acreage to support and further accelerate another potential development program in the region. The Revenant Development Agreement covers approximately 270,000 gross acres across San Augustine, Nacogdoches, Angelina, Houston, and Trinity counties. BSM currently controls approximately 95,000 undeveloped net acres, with line of sight to additional acquisitions, all within this contractual area. The annual well commitments escalate over five years from a minimum of 6 wells per year starting in 2026 to a minimum of 25 wells per year and require test wells in certain areas in order to continue operating across the full footprint. Additionally, BSM expects to bring a non-operated working interest partner into the development. The Partnership has entered into an amendment to the joint exploration agreements with Aethon in Angelina and San Augustine counties which reduces the contract area to approximately 210,000 gross acres. Under the terms of the amendment, Aethon will release over 50,000 gross acres from the contract area, in exchange for reducing the annual well commitment to a total of 16 wells across both JEAs. As previously disclosed, the majority of farmout agreements covering non-operated working interests under these JEAs have terminated, and Aethon is absorbing that working interest as part of the amendment.
