(彭博社) 知情人士称，随着美国能源行业交易加速，二叠纪盆地运营商卡伦石油公司 (Callon Petroleum Co.) 正在考虑战略选择，以应对竞争对手石油和天然气公司的收购兴趣。

知情人士表示，这家总部位于休斯敦的公司一直在与顾问合作，研究包括潜在出售在内的各种可能性。由于信息属于私人信息，该人士要求匿名。纽约上午 11 点 15 分，Callon 股价上涨 2.9%，至 32.59 美元，该公司市值约为 22 亿美元。他们今年下跌了 12%。
他们表示，尚未做出最终决定，卡伦可以选择保持独立。记者未能立即联系到卡伦公司的代表置评。
石油和天然气公司越来越多地寻求整合，以扩大规模并削减成本，埃克森美孚公司以 600 亿美元收购先锋自然资源公司的交易就强调了这一点。
与先锋公司一样，卡伦公司也活跃在西德克萨斯州和新墨西哥州的二叠纪地区，这是该国最大、产量最高的油田。二叠纪盆地整合的时机早已成熟，因为过去二十年已有数十家页岩油新贵开始在那里钻探，因此二叠纪盆地高度分散。

The Houston-based company has been working with an adviser to study possibilities including a potential sale, said the people, who asked to not be identified because the information is private. Callon shares rose 2.9% to $32.59 at 11:15 a.m. in New York, giving the company a market value of about $2.2 billion. They’re down 12% for the year.
No final decision has been made and Callon could opt to remain independent, they said. Representatives for Callon couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.
Oil and gas companies have been increasingly looking to consolidate in order to add scale and cut costs, underscored by ExxonMobil Corp.’s $60 billion deal for Pioneer Natural Resources Co.
Like Pioneer, Callon is active in the Permian of West Texas and New Mexico, the biggest and most productive oil field in the country. The Permian has long been ripe for consolidation because it’s highly fragmented thanks to the scores of shale upstarts that have begun drilling there in the past two decades.
