威利斯顿盆地拥有高质量的钻井库存，非常适合KKR集团的能源实物资产战略，该战略优先考虑上游行业产生自由现金流和强劲的资产水平回报。
总部位于俄克拉荷马城的美国西部自然资源有限责任公司将在整个远景区内收购、管理和开发生产井和钻井位置。
美国西部自然资源有限责任公司首席执行官米雷莱斯在一份新闻稿中说：“我们很高兴能与KKR集团合作并给这个盆地带来我们认为是差异化视角和商业模式来建立一个主要资产基础，专注于提供强劲的风险调整后的回报。”

自2015年以来，KKR集团的能源实物资产战略已在12笔交易中投资了40亿美元。
上周，KKR集团宣布将与Spur能源合伙有限公司合作收购该地区的资产。

Western Natural Resources, KKR Team to Buy Williston Assets
Western Natural Resources, LLC and global investment firm KKR have teamed up to acquire producing and undeveloped oil and gas assets in the Williston Basin.
The Williston Basin has a high-quality drilling inventory that is well suited to KKR’s Energy Real Assets strategy, which prioritizes the generation of free cash flow and strong asset level returns in the upstream sector.
Western, which has its headquarters in Oklahoma City, will acquire, manage and develop producing wells and drilling locations throughout the play.
“We are excited to partner with KKR and bring what we feel is a differentiated view and business model to the basin to build a premier asset base focused on delivering strong risk-adjusted returns,” Western CEO Heath Mireles said in a release.
“The Williston continues to be a core area of focus for us… [we] believe our partnership is well positioned to acquire and manage assets in the Williston for the long run,” added Ben Conner, director on KKR’s Energy Real Assets team.
KKR’s Energy Real Assets strategy has invested $4 billion in capital across 12 transactions since 2015.
Last week, KKR announced it was partnering with Spur Energy Partners LLC to acquire assets in the Permian.
