Hess Corporation said on Monday it has entered into an agreement to sell its interests in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) assets in the Permian Basin to Occidental Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: OXY) for a total consideration of $600 million, effective June 1, 2017. Proceeds from the sale will be used to fund the company’s strong growth opportunities.

The transaction consists of the following Hess-operated assets: the Seminole-San Andres Unit (Hess 34.2% interest) and the Seminole Gas Processing Plant (Hess 46.6% interest) in Texas; the West Bravo Dome C02 field in New Mexico (Hess 100% interest); and a 9.9% non-operated interest in the Bravo Dome unit in New Mexico.
