Crescent Energy Acquires Uinta Basin Assets from Verdun/EP Energy for $690M

Crescent Energy Co. closed its purchase of Uinta Basin oil and gas assets in Utah for $690 million, acquiring approximately 145,000 contiguous net acres producing roughly 30,000 boe/d (about 65% oil). The assets were sold by Verdun Oil Co. II LLC (an EnCap Investments-backed vehicle) previously associated with EP Energy; Crescent said the deal expands its Rockies position and adds multiyear development inventory and cash flow.
