石油设备网讯 据全球能源新闻网 2019年6月17日休斯顿报道,美国最大的综合完井服务提供商之一、油田服务公司Keane集团周一表示,由于该公司希望在原油生产商削减支出之际扩大规模,Keane集团将在一笔7.457亿美元的全股票交易中与其竞争对手C&J 能源服务公司合并。
由于美国生产商根据投资者提出的现金用于股息和回购而不是用于增长的要求推迟钻取新井,石油服务行业一直在与需求下降和定价压力作斗争。
两家油田服务公司在一份声明中表示,这笔交易预计将立即增加现金流。两家公司补充说,在交易完成后的12个月内,年运营成本将节省1亿美元。
合并后的新公司约有230万水力压裂马力,将成为美国第三大压力泵服务提供商,仅次于斯伦贝谢公司和哈里伯顿公司。
两家公司说,这笔交易价值18亿美元,包括2.55亿美元的净债务。

Oilfield Services Firms Keane, C&J Merge
Oilfield services company Keane Group Inc said on Monday it will merge with rival C&J Energy Services in a $745.7 million all-stock deal, as it looks for scale amid spending cuts by crude producers.
The oil service sector has been battling lower demand and pricing pressure as U.S. producers hold off drilling new wells on investor demand that cash be used for dividends and buybacks rather than growth.
The deal is expected to add to cash flow immediately, the companies said in a statement, adding they see annualized run-rate cost savings of $100 million within 12 months after closing.
The combined company, with about 2.3 million hydraulic fracturing horsepower, will be the third largest pressure pumper in the United States behind Schlumberger NV and Halliburton Co.
The companies said the deal is valued at $1.8 billion, including $255 million of net debt.
