Synopsis

Peyto Exploration & Development, an explorer and producer of uncoventional natural gas in Alberta's Deep Basin, agreed to acquire the Canadian unit of Repsol, an integrated global energy company, for $468m. "This acquisition marks a very important milestone for Peyto. We have coveted these lands for many years and this asset checks all the boxes for us. Peyto has a history of being very selective when it comes to acquisitions but is also very successful in realizing value from them. The Repsol assets fit perfectly with Peyto's existing Deep Basin acreage and offer a significant number of top-tier undeveloped locations that will immediately compete for capital within our portfolio. Furthermore, we have identified many opportunities to leverage our low-cost, operational expertise on these Assets which we expect will yield significant annual cost savings. Together, at current strip pricing and under our proposed development plan, the combined assets are forecast to generate sufficient cumulative free cash flow over the next three years to support long term sustainable returns to shareholders in the form of reduced debt and increasing dividends," Jean-Paul Lachance, Peyto President and CEO.
