Pengrowth Energy Corp. has closed its previously announced sale of a portion of its Swan Hills assets in north-central Alberta for total cash consideration of $185-million, before closing adjustments. The company continues to work on finalizing the previously announced sale of the remainder of its Swan Hills assets. The proceeds from this sale will be used to further strengthen the company's balance sheet. "Our successful asset divestiture program has provided us with cash proceeds that have allowed us to reduce our outstanding debt by over $670-million thus far in 2017," said Derek Evans, president and chief executive officer of Pengrowth Energy. "We will continue with additional asset dispositions as a means to further strengthen our balance sheet and enhance our financial flexibility to allow us to pursue our strategic objectives."
