The deal comes about a year after Diamondback announced its biggest transaction, acquiring LP ENDEAVOR Energy Resources. The deal was closed in September for about $ 28 billion. Since then, Diamondback has been among the worst members of the S&P 500 Energy Index, due to concern that the Endeavor founder’s founder Autry Stephens can sell several parts of Diamondback, which he has acquired in the agreement.
Clate contracts were expected to slow down after the $ 300 million acquisitions had been united in the last few years, the industrial advisor Enverus said.
The Double Eagle, whose private capital supports included the ECAP Investments LP, is one of the last large manufacturers who have taken over in Permias, which extends in Western Texas and Southeast Novi Mexico.
Once the backbone of patch growth from slate, manufacturers closely hold the exit of a slower pace, while private capital exits the space.
