DELAWARE BASIN ACQUISITION

NOG has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire certain non-operated interests (the "Assets") in the Delaware Basin from a private seller (the "Seller") for a purchase price of $130.0 million in cash, subject to typical closing adjustments.

The acquired assets are located in Lea and Eddy Counties, New Mexico and Loving and Winkler Counties, Texas, and include approximately 2,100 net acres, 5.3 net producing wells, 2.1 net wells-in-process and approximately 17.2 net undeveloped locations. The primary operator of the assets is Mewbourne Oil, one of the most cost efficient and active operators in the Northern Delaware Basin. Other operators include Coterra and Permian Resources.

The effective date for the transaction is November 1, 2022, and NOG expects to close the transaction in December 2022. The obligations of the parties to complete the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions.

HEDGING UPDATE

In addition to its continuous hedging program, NOG has hedged, as standard practice, a significant portion of the production from the pending transaction. Updated hedge schedules can be found in NOG's related October Acquisition Presentation at http://ir.northernoil.com.
