WPX Energy : Closes Public Offering of Senior Unsecured Notes

WPX Energy (NYSE: WPX) announced today that it has closed its previously announced public offering of $900,000,000 million aggregate principal amount of 4.500% senior unsecured notes due 2030 at par.

The proceeds were deposited into an escrow account upon the closing of the offering. Upon release from escrow, WPX Energy intends to use the proceeds to finance a portion of the cash consideration of the previously announced acquisition of Felix Energy Holdings II, LLC ('Felix') and to pay related fees and expenses.
