Diversified Buys Canvas Energy, Adds 250K Acres, 570 Wells in Okla.

Diversified Energy, which owns significant assets in the Marcellus/Utica region (and other regions, too), is...diversified! The company owns approximately 8 million acres of leases with close to 70,000 oil and gas wells, mostly conventional wells (by number of wells). However, the company now produces over 40% of its production from shale wells. The company’s business model is to buy already-drilled, lower-producing wells on the cheap and find ways to make them more productive. They do a great job at it. Diversified also owns midstream (pipeline) assets in addition to a well-plugging subsidiary called Next LVL. Earlier this morning, the company announced a deal to acquire Canvas Energy (the entire company) for $550 million.
