Notably, the deal increases its Texas assets held by production (HBP) to 3,955 acres - an increase of 44%.
It also lifts the firm's 2P oil and gas reserves to around 9mln barrels of oil equivalent (boe) - an increase of 25.6%.
"We are very pleased to complete this highly anticipated acquisition integrating the ODC and Taylor leases into the long-term scale growth of the company," said Mehran Ehsan, the president and chief executive.
"This not only provides us access to work side by side with one of the world’s elite oil and gas operators, but will also allow us the potential for future synergies.
"This acquisition also comes at a time we feel crude oil is entering a more bullish cycle."
