Repsol SA (REP.MC) said late on Thursday that it has bought a stake in Eagle Ford from Equinor ASA (EQNR.OS), gaining control of 100% of the Texas producing asset.

The Spanish energy company said it bought 63% of Eagle Ford for $325 million. The purchase is in line with Repsol's 2018-2020 strategy which identifies North America as a key business area, and is included in the company's planned upstream unit investments for the period.

Total output at Eagle Ford after the agreement will reach about 54,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day, Repsol said.
