Matador Resources (NYSE: MTDR) announced a definitive agreement for its subsidiary to acquire Paloma Permian for $1.275 billion in cash, adding 16,235 net undeveloped acres in Eddy and Lea Counties, New Mexico, and estimated third-quarter 2026 production of 10,600–11,600 BOE/d (57% oil). The Paloma assets include over 156 net locations, total proved reserves of 55 million BOE and a PV-10 value of $816 million as of May 31, 2026.
Matador also agreed to acquire primarily undeveloped Woodford acreage from Ridge Runner, contributing to a total of about 50,000 net Woodford acres at an average cost of $4,000 per acre and adding over 150 net operated Woodford locations at roughly $1.3 million per net location. Following these additions, Matador expects to hold approximately 240,000 net acres in the Delaware Basin. The company reported that its first Woodford exploratory well, Rae’s Creek in Southeast Lea County, delivered initial 24-hour test production above 2,200 BOE/d (72% oil) on June 29, 2026, and is performing about 20% better than the average Woodford well in Texas on a 60-day cumulative oil basis.
