Wedoany.com Report-Nov 20, LandBridge today announced it has entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire approximately 46,000 largely contiguous surface acres in the Southern Delaware Basin known as the Wolf Bone Ranch for total consideration of $245 million in cash from VTX Energy Partners, a subsidiary of Vitol.

“This acquisition demonstrates our continued commitment to our active land management strategy across the Delaware Basin, and we see significant opportunities for a broad range of industrial development and revenue growth on the Wolf Bone Ranch,” said Jason Long, CEO of LandBridge. “These opportunities include commercial real estate opportunities along the over seven miles of Highway 285 frontage and potential digital infrastructure and renewable energy projects.”
