加拿大运营商ARC Resources于 7 月 2 日宣布，该公司已与Strathcona Resources达成一项价值 16 亿加元（11.8 亿美元）的交易，收购蒙特尼盆地的石油和天然气资产。

此次交易以阿尔伯塔省卡夸地区为中心，体现了ARC巩固其在蒙特尼地区地位的战略。2024年9月，该公司以5920万美元的价格出售了其在蒙特尼盆地的非核心资产。

该公司表示，新收购的资产将分别生产50%的石油和液体燃料以及50%的天然气。ARC预计，新收购的油田在今年剩余时间内的产量将达到约37,000桶油当量/天。

公告称，这些资产将使 ARC 的预期 Kakwa 产量增加 24%，并使该公司在 Montney 的库存期限从 12 年延长至 15 年。

该交易还附带基础设施，ARC 表示将接管两座天然气处理厂和凝析油处理基础设施。

此次交易完成后，ARC 的净债务将达到约 28 亿加元（约合 20.6 亿美元）。今年 6 月，该公司完成了 10 亿加元（约合 7.4 亿美元）优先无担保债券的发行，为此次交易提供融资。

Canadian operator ARC Resources completed a CA$1.6 billion (US$1.18 billion) deal from Strathcona Resources for oil and gas assets in the Montney Basin, the company announced July 2.

The deal, centered on the Kakwa region in Alberta, follows ARC’s strategy of strengthening its Montney position. In September 2024, the company sold its non-core assets out of the Montney Basin for US$59.2 million.

The company said the newly acquired assets are split at 50% oil and liquids production and 50% natural gas. ARC expects the new acreage will produce about 37,000 boe/d for the remainder of the year.

The assets expand ARC’s expected Kakwa production by 24% and increase the company’s inventory duration in the Montney from 12 years to 15 years, according to the announcement.

The deal also came with infrastructure, which ARC said it will take over two gas processing plants and condensate handling infrastructure.

ARC’s net debt following the closing will reach about CA$2.8 billion (US$2.06 billion). In June, the company closed a CA$1 billion (US$740 million) offering in senior unsecured notes to finance the deal.
