Vital Energy 通过价值 11.7 亿美元的三笔交易扩大二叠纪足迹

这家俄克拉荷马州独立公司同意收购三家私营公司的资产，以扩大其在二叠纪特拉华盆地的业务规模。

Vital Energy 将收购二叠纪盆地的三家私营公司，以扩大特拉华盆地的足迹。

总部位于塔尔萨的 Vital Energy 正在通过三笔价值超过 11.7 亿美元的新交易扩大其在二叠纪盆地的足迹。

Vital 于 9 月 14 日表示，这些交易是与 Henry Energy 和 Henry Resources 的附属公司、Tall City Property Holdings III 和 Maple Energy Holdings 进行的，预计将在第四季度完成。

这些收购将使公司目前的产量增加约35,000 BOED。Vital Energy（原名 Laredo Petroleum）将为其投资组合增加近 53,000 英亩净土地，探明储量估计约为 2.48 亿桶油当量（44% 石油）。

该公司计划通过在新收购的土地上增加钻井平台来扩大业务。它将雇用现场完井人员约 1 个月来完成目前正在开发的四口井。到 2024 年，该公司预计对这些资产的投资为 100-1.25 亿美元，不到之前运营商活动水平的一半。

Vital Energy 的预估情景意味着总净面积约为 250,000 英亩，预计 2024 年全年平均产量约为 112,000 BOED。预计 2024 年全年平均石油产量将增加约 30%，达到 55,000 桶/日。

这些交易解锁了约 150 个高价值地点，进一步巩固了 Vital Energy 的地位。按照预计的四钻机开发速度，他们预计将维持超过 8 年的石油加权库存。

这些交易包括 Vital Energy 通过全股权交易收购亨利的米德兰和特拉华盆地资产，交易包括 372 万股普通股和 454 万股永久强制可转换优先证券（扣除惯常收盘价调整后）。

Vital 还将以 2.85 亿美元现金和普通股收购 Tall City Property Holdings III 之前持有的所有特拉华盆地资产。最后，Maple Energy Holdings将通过全股权交易将其在特拉华盆地的所有资产转让给Vital Energy。

这些最新交易建立在 Vital Energy 之前成功收购的基础上。5 月，该公司与 Northern Oil and Gas 联合收购了 Forge Energy II Delaware。

Vital Energy Grows Permian Footprint With Trio of Deals Valued at $1.17 Billion

The Oklahoma independent agreed to acquire the assets of three private companies in its quest to scale up in the Permian's Delaware Basin.

Vital Energy set to grow Delaware Basin footprint with its purchase of three private companies in the Permian Basin.

Tulsa-based Vital Energy is expanding its Permian Basin footprint with three new deals worth more than $1.17 billion.

The deals are with the affiliates of Henry Energy and Henry Resources, Tall City Property Holdings III, and Maple Energy Holdings, and are expected to close in the fourth quarter, Vital said on 14 September.

These acquisitions will increase the company's current production by about 35,000 BOED. Vital Energy, formerly known as Laredo Petroleum, will add nearly 53,000 net acres and proven reserves estimated at around 248 million BOE (44% oil) to its portfolio.

The company plans to ramp up operations by adding a drilling rig on the newly acquired acreage. It will employ a spot completions crew for about 1 month to finish four wells currently under development. By 2024, the company is anticipating an investment of $100–125 million in these assets, representing less than half the activity levels of the previous operators.

The pro forma scenario for Vital Energy implies a total net acreage of about 250,000 and an estimated average full-year 2024 production of roughly 112,000 BOED. The projected average full-year 2024 oil production is expected to increase by about 30% to 55,000 B/D.

The deals unlock about 150 gross high-value locations, further strengthening Vital Energy's position. With the projected four-rig development pace, they anticipate maintaining more than 8 years of oil-weighted inventory.

The deals include Vital Energy's purchase of Henry’s Midland and Delaware basin assets in an all-equity transaction consisting of 3.72 million common shares and 4.54 million shares of perpetual mandatorily convertible preferred securities, net of customary closing price adjustments.

Vital will also acquire all Delaware Basin assets previously held by Tall City Property Holdings III for $285 million in cash and common shares. Finally, Maple Energy Holdings will transfer all its assets in the Delaware Basin to Vital Energy in an all-equity transaction.

These latest deals build upon Vital Energy's previous successful acquisitions. In May, the company joined with Northern Oil and Gas to acquire Forge Energy II Delaware.
