據(jù)1月20日NS energy報(bào)道，美國(guó)頁(yè)巖氣生產(chǎn)商切薩皮克能源公司正在就以近24億美元（包括債務(wù)）的價(jià)格收購(gòu)Chief Oil & Gas公司進(jìn)行深入談判。
路透社表示，雙方最早可能在本周宣布這項(xiàng)交易。
Chief Oil & Gas成立于1994年，是一家位于美國(guó)的私營(yíng)獨(dú)立石油和天然氣勘探和生產(chǎn)公司。自2007年以來(lái)，該公司一直參與位于賓夕法尼亞州東北部Marcellus頁(yè)巖石油和天然氣儲(chǔ)備的勘探和生產(chǎn)。據(jù)悉，2020年，該公司在Marcellus頁(yè)巖的天然氣總產(chǎn)量達(dá)到了兩萬(wàn)億立方英尺里程碑。
2021年10月公布的報(bào)告顯示，在能源價(jià)格上漲導(dǎo)致石油和天然氣行業(yè)的企業(yè)估值上升后，該公司將被出售。
該交易如果執(zhí)行，將標(biāo)志著切薩皮克能源公司在最近一段時(shí)間內(nèi)實(shí)現(xiàn)第二次收購(gòu)。2021年11月，這家頁(yè)巖生產(chǎn)商完成了之前宣布的22億美元對(duì)Vine能源公司的收購(gòu)，該公司專注于開(kāi)發(fā)位于路易斯安那州西北部Haynesville和Besisier-Bassier-Stand的天然氣資產(chǎn)。
據(jù)稱，通過(guò)Vine能源公司，該公司已經(jīng)加強(qiáng)了其在Haynesville頁(yè)巖的地位，增加了900多個(gè)鉆探地點(diǎn)。
值得一提的是，切薩皮克能源公司已于2021年2月脫離破產(chǎn)保護(hù)，當(dāng)時(shí)已將約78億美元的債務(wù)股權(quán)化。

Chesapeake Energy on verge of acquiring Chief Oil & Gas for $2.4bn
US shale gas producer Chesapeake Energy is reportedly in advanced talks to acquire Chief Oil & Gas for a sum of nearly $2.4bn, including debt.
The parties could announce the deal as early as this week, reported Reuters, citing undisclosed sources with knowledge of the matter.
Founded in 1994, Chief Oil & Gas is a US-based privately-owned, independent, oil and natural gas exploration and production firm.
Since 2007, the company has been involved in the exploration and production of oil and natural gas reserves located in the Marcellus shale in northeastern Pennsylvania. In 2020, Chief Oil & Gas is said to have achieved a gross production milestone of two trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of natural gas in the Marcellus shale.
In October 2021, the publication reported that the company was up for sale following the increase in energy prices which resulted in an increase in corporate valuations in the oil and gas industry.
The deal, if executed, will mark the second acquisition for Chesapeake Energy in recent times. In November 2021, the shale gas producer had closed the previously announced $2.2bn acquisition of Vine Energy, which is focused on developing natural gas assets in the over-pressured stacked Haynesville and Mid-Bossier shale plays located in Northwest Louisiana
Through Vine Energy, the company is said to have bolstered its position in the Haynesville Shale with more than 900 additional drilling locations.
Chesapeake Energy had emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in February 2021 and had equitized around $7.8bn of debt at that time.
