经过近八个月的时间，西方石油公司完成了对 Permian Basin E&P CrownRock LP 的收购。西方石油公司去年 12 月表示，将以现金加股票的方式收购该公司，交易价值为 120 亿美元，其中包括债务。

西方石油公司已经开始削减债务，目标是通过出售资产减少 45 亿至 60 亿美元。7 月 29 日，该公司同意以 8.175 亿美元的价格将其特拉华盆地 Barilla Draw 资产出售给 Permian Resources。

据 8 月 1 日美国证券交易委员会提交的文件显示，西方石油公司表示，其在米德兰盆地的合资伙伴 Ecopetrol 拒绝收购 CrownRock LP 的权益，随后该交易完成。根据两家公司的合资协议条款，这家哥伦比亚国家石油公司一直在商谈以约 36 亿美元收购 CrownRock 30% 资产的交易。

After nearly eight months, Occidental Petroleum has sewn up its acquisition of Permian Basin E&P CrownRock LP. Occidental said in December it would acquire the company in a cash-and-stock deal valued at $12 billion, including debt.

Occidental has already started the process of reducing debt by a targeted $4.5 billion to $6 billion in asset sales. On July 29, the company agreed to sell its Delaware Basin Barilla Draw assets to Permian Resources in an $817.5 million deal.

The deal closed after Occidental said that its joint venture (JV) partner in the Midland Basin, Ecopetrol, declined to acquire interests in CrownRock LP, according to an Aug. 1 Securities and Exchange Commission filing. Under the terms of the companies’ JV agreement, the Colombian nation oil company had been in talks to acquire potentially 30% of CrownRock’s assets for an estimated $3.6 billion.
