HOUSTON -Swift Energy Co. and Petrohawk Energy Corp. said on Monday they have agreed to jointly develop and operate a 26,000-acre portion of Swift's Eagle Ford Shale in McMullen County, Texas.

Swift said it got about $26 million in cash in the deal. Petrohawk will also pay for about $13 million in capital expenditures on Swift's behalf during the first year of the joint venture.

Swift said it is keeping a 50 percent interest in the joint venture.

Petrohawk will operate the drilling and completion phase of the development, with Swift operating the wells once they enter production.
