据能源之声12月22日消息称，响尾蛇能源公司正计划进行价值超过30亿美元的收购，以加强其在西德克萨斯州米德兰盆地的地位。
米德兰石油天然气生产商周一表示，收购总部位于丹佛的QEP资源公司和百仕通集团旗下的Guidon运营公司将使其在米德兰盆地的租赁权益增加到逾27.6万英亩，并通过提高效率节省至少6000万美元。
响尾蛇能源公司首席执行官Travis Stice在一份声明中表示：“响尾蛇不需要为了做大而参与行业整合。我们参与企业发展的机会，我们坚信这将增加股东投资的长期价值。”
新一波整合浪潮正在席卷能源行业，该行业正努力摆脱由冠状病毒大流行造成的石油泡沫破裂。石油和天然气公司正在合并和收购资产，以更好地经受市场的起落。
其他正在整合的石油公司包括康菲石油公司97亿美元收购康乔资源公司，先锋自然资源公司45亿美元收购帕斯利能源公司，德文能源公司计划以近26亿美元收购WPX能源公司。
响尾蛇能源公司计划以22亿美元的全股票交易收购QEP，其中包括QEP 16亿美元的债务。该交易获得了两家公司董事会的一致批准，预计将于2021年第二季度完成。
该公司还计划以现金加股票的方式收购Guidon运营公司，截至周五价值约8.623亿美元。
这些交易将使响尾蛇能源公司在二叠纪盆地获得56口钻探但尚未完工的油井和管道。响尾蛇能源公司表示，可能会出售QEP在加拿大威林斯特顿盆地的资产，以偿还债务。

Diamondback Energy to acquire QEP Resources for $2.2 billion
Diamondback Energy is planning a pair of acquisitions worth more than $3 billion that would strengthen its position in the Midland Basin of West Texas.
The Midland oil and gas producer “Diamondback does not need to participate in industry consolidation to simply get bigger,” Diamondback CEO Travis Stice said in a statement. “We participate in corporate development opportunities that we firmly believe will increase the long-term value of our stockholders’ investment.”
A new wave of consolidation is sweeping the energy sector as the industry fights its way out of the oil bust caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Oil and gas companies are combining and acquiring assets to better weather the ups and downs of the market.
Other oil companies that are merging include ConocoPhillip’s $9.7 billion takeover of Concho Resources, Pioneer Natural Resources’ $4.5 billion pursuit of Parsley Energy and Devon Energy’s plans to purchase WPX Energy for nearly $2.6 billion.
Diamondback plans to acquire QEP in an all-stock transaction valued at about $2.2 billion, including QEP’s debt of $1.6 billion. The deal, unanimously approved by the two companies’ board of directors, is expected to close by the second quarter of 2021.
The company also plans to acquire Guidon Operating in a cash-and-stock deal valued at around $862.3 million as of Friday.
The deals will give Diamondback 56 drilled-but-uncompleted oil wells as well as pipelines in the Permian Basin. Diamondback said it could sell QEP’s assets in the Williston Basin of Canada to pay down its debt.
