The company said it would use the net proceeds to fund the cash portion of the acquisition of GEP Haynesville, announced in November.

Southwestern put down around $1.85bn to acquire GEP in a deal that is expected to close by the end of the year. The Texas-based company said the purchase would put its production at 4.7bn ft3/d equivalent per day, of which 65% is expected in the form of natural gas..
