Ovintiv Strikes Billion-Dollar Oil Deal, Doubling Production in Permian Basin with EnCap's Black Swan, PetroLegacy, and Piedra Resources.

The deal, which was approved unanimously by Ovintiv's board, is slated to close on June 30.

With over $5 billion in transactions announced on April 3, Ovintiv is set to expand its oil production by snatching up 65,000 net acres in the core of the Midland Basin. The deal with EnCap will give them a strategic edge in Martin and Andrews counties, Texas, with approximately 1,050 net, 10,000-ft well locations added to their inventory.

In another separate deal, Ovintiv will be leaving the Bakken to play in Williston Basin with EnCap as the buyer.

Total cash proceeds of $825 million in the definitive agreement with EnCap's Grayson Mill Bakken LLC.
