Eagle Ford Shale Mitsui Leasehold Acres: 35,000 Mitsui Shale Play: 1,700 wells Marcellus Shale Mitsui Leasehold Acres: 62,000 Mitsui Shale Play: 750 wells Building partnerships with values of trust, innovation, communication, and leadership These values have been at the heart of Mitsui s business management philosophy since the early 18 th century, so it should come as no surprise that Mitsui seeks to build its partnerships upon a foundation of such values. In 2010, when Mitsui saw the opportunity to invest in the onshore boom in shale gas production occurring in the U.S., it knew that it would need to forge partnerships with only the most skilled and industrysavvy players in the field. Marcellus Besides being highly seasoned and financially strong oil & gas operating companies, both Anadarko E&P Onshore LLC and Chesapeake Appalachia LLC controlled multiple large swaths of leases throughout central and northeastern Pennsylvania, all of which targeted development of the Marcellus Shale formation. After successful negotiations, Mitsui was able to contractually gain entrance into several joint development agreements Anadarko and Chesapeake already had in place. In 2017, Anadarko divested its Marcellus asset and Mitsui divested its Anadarko-operated acreage. Mitsui maintains the remainder of its Marcellus asset with its main operating partner, Chesapeake. Eagle Ford Mitsui was then a full-fledged interest owner in the Marcellus leases. Subsequently, through its new connections and partners, Mitsui had the opportunity to enter into another shale venture, this time in South Texas, targeting the Eagle Ford formation. In 2011, it closed on its joint development agreement with Colorado-based SM Energy Company. In 2017, the asset operator, Anadarko, sold its working interest to Sanchez Energy and Blackstone; SM Energy sold its working interests to KKR/Venado. Mitsui s solid and healthy relationship with these partners and new partners has paved the way for its continued success in these assets, and has made possible its presence and participation in America s historic shale gas revolution.
