Birmingham, Alabama — Energen Corporation (NYSE: EGN) said today that it has closed on the previously announced sale of its Black Warrior Basin assets for $160 million plus standard closing adjustments.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, Energen will reflect a non-cash gain on the transaction of approximately $33 million. Energen plans to use net proceeds of approximately $150 million to reduce short-term indebtedness.
