Repsol Buys Rockdale PA Assets Out of Bankruptcy for $222M

In September MDN broke the news that Rockdale Marcellus had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania (see NEPA Driller Rockdale Marcellus Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy). On Dec. 16 an auction for Rockdale's assets was held in Dallas, Texas. The highest bidder and winner was Repsol, buying substantially all of Rockdale's assets for $220 million in cash, plus the assumption of $2 million in debt owed to trade creditors. Last Wednesday, Dec. 29, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania approved the auction results and sale to Repsol.
