This is your Hart Energy LIVE A&D Minute powered by the inaugural Gulf of Mexico Energy Transformation Conference March 21 in Houston.
Both the energy IPO and MLP spaces are getting a boost from the successful initial public offering of TXO Energy Partners. The master limited partnership led by Bob Simpson is focused on the Permian and San Juan basins. With oil prices holding stronger, will we see the MLP structure make a comeback?
If you can't beat them, join them. Coal giant Alliance Resource Partners is expanding its Permian Basin presence by acquiring more oil and gas mineral acreage for $150 million. Alliance also scooped up additional Permian acreage last year, so will this represent a diversification trend for coal companies?
Devon Energy CEO Rick Muncrief took over the expanded company after it combined with his prior employer, WPX Energy. Now, he’s sharing his A&D secrets, preaching that acting quickly and decisively once the due diligence is done. One other pro tip: A merger of equals can pay off just based on the synergies, especially during a down cycle.
