In May, Vanguard sold Midland Basin acreage in a bankruptcy auction to Occidental Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: OXY) for $101.2 million. The company emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in August following the completion of its financial restructuring, which eliminated about $820 million of debt from Vanguard’s balanced sheet.

In addition, Vanguard said in September it hired Jefferies LLC as its financial adviser to oversee the strategic review of its asset base and development plans, including possible asset sales.

Bids for Vanguard’s Williston assets are due by Nov. 9. For information visit eagleriverholdingsllc.com or contact Eagle River’s Austin McKee at 303-832-5128.
