Diversified Buys More East Texas Assets from Crescent Pass Energy

Diversified Energy (formerly Diversified Gas & Oil), with major assets in the Marcellus/Utica region (with assets in other regions, too), owns approximately 8 million acres of leases with 67,000 (mostly) conventional oil and gas wells. The company’s business model is to buy lower-producing wells on the cheap and find ways to make them more productive. Last September, Diversified's CEO Rusty Huston, in an interview with Forbes, signaled that he would be looking to buy more assets outside of the Marcellus/Utica --- specifically along the Gulf Coast (see Diversified CEO Says Gulf Coast has Brighter Future than Appalachia). Since that time, he's made good on his statement. This morning, the company announced yet another Gulf Coast deal: buying 170,000 acres with 827 active conventional wells and producing 38 MMcfe/d in East Texas for $106 million.
