Cenovus Energy Inc (USA) (NYSE:CVE)’s shares gained 0.59% to $13.53.

Cenovus Energy Inc. (CVE) (CVE) has reached an agreement to sell Heritage Royalty Limited Partnership (HRP), a wholly-owned subsidiary, to Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (Teachers’) for gross cash proceeds of approximately $3.3 billion. HRP holds approximately 4.8 million gross acres of royalty interest and mineral fee title lands in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. In the first quarter of 2015, HRP had associated third-party royalty interest volumes of approximately 7,800 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOE/d). Additional royalties have also been added to HRP – a royalty on Cenovus’s working interest production with implied first quarter volumes of approximately 5,400 BOE/d (pro forma), as well as a Gross Overriding Royalty (GORR) on Cenovus’s Pelican Lake heavy oil property in northern Alberta and its enhanced oil recovery project in Weyburn, Saskatchewan, with implied first quarter volumes of 1,600 BOE/d (pro forma). The GORR represents less than 15% of HRP’s cash flow.

Cenovus’s decision to sell HRP to Teachers’ is the outcome of a rigorous marketing process that attracted significant interest. Over the past several months, the company considered several alternatives to generate value from the business, including a potential initial public offering. After a thorough review, the transaction with Teachers’ was determined to be the best alternative to maximize value for Cenovus shareholders.

At the end of Thursday’s trade, Gran Tierra Energy Inc. (NYSEMKT:GTE)‘s shares dipped -5.43% to $2.17.

Gran Tierra Energy Inc. (GTE) declares that it intends to implement a normal course issuer bid (the “Bid”) through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the NYSE MKT. Following the Bid and subject to regulatory approval, Gran Tierra would be able to purchase for cancellation up to about 5% of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Shares”) for a one year period at prevailing market prices.

At such times, the purchase of Shares for cancellation may be advantageous to stockholders by increasing the value of the remaining Shares.
