NOG Enters Canada with $259M Duvernay Light Oil Acquisition, Expects Accretive Production
Summary
Northern Oil & Gas announced a strategic entry into Canada, acquiring a 25% non-operated stake in Duvernay light oil assets for an initial US$259 million. This material acquisition, representing over 10% of NOG's market cap, is expected to add 4,000 Boe per day of production by 2027.

NOG will fund the deal with $83.5 million in common stock and the remainder from cash and credit. The company also stated it will provide updated 2026 annual guidance.
