(March 31) – An affiliate of Fort Worth-based TPG Capital announced Monday that it has agreed to purchase certain natural gas properties in Wyoming from Encana Oil & Gas (USA) Inc. for $1.8 billion.

The properties are located in the Jonah field of Sublette County, Wyoming. The field is about 24,000 acres and has more than 1,500 active wells. Included in the transaction are more than 100,000 undeveloped acres adjacent to Jonah known as the Normally Pressured Lance (NPL) area

Vinson & Elkins advised TPG in the transaction. The M&A matters were led by Houston partner Keith Fullenweider, Dallas associate John Grand and New York partner David Cohen and received assistance from Dallas associates Thomas Laughlin and Rob Derivaux and New York associate Carson Sieving.

Houston and Dallas tax partners John Lynch and Todd Way were also involved in the transaction, as well as Houston energy regulatory partner James Olson and New York finance partner David Wicklund.
