Porter Hedges Advises PureWest on $365 Million Asset-Backed Securitization

Porter Hedges advised PureWest Energy, LLC (“PureWest”), the leading natural gas producer in Wyoming, on a $365 million asset-backed securitization. The offering was comprised of a combination of $210 million of 144A Class A1 Notes and $155 million of Class A2 Notes offered and sold as a 4(a)(2) private placement.

This is the second upstream energy securitization PureWest has completed in the last year with Porter Hedges as oil and gas counsel. The securitization follows PureWest’s initial $600 million securitization in November 2021, with the assets collateralized representing PureWest’s retained interest in the same 1,800+ wells included in the initial securitized financing.

PureWest Energy, LLC is a private energy company focused on developing its long-life gas reserves in Wyoming's Green River Basin where the Company controls more than 126,000 gross (115,000 net) acres in and around the prolific Pinedale and Jonah Fields.
