The acquisition by the subsidiary of Abraxas Energy Partners L.P. is subject to closing conditions and purchase price adjustments and is expected to close during the first quarter of 2008.
The properties are in the Rocky Mountains and Mid-Continent regions of the United States, and include about 1,500 wells and estimated reserves of about 10,250 million barrels of oil.

We expect the acquisition to be immediately accredited to distributable cash flow per unit," said Bob Watson, president and chief executive officer.
