8月7日,Aris Water Solutions盘前涨超21%,页岩管道运营商Western Midstream同意以约15亿美元的现金和股票形式收购Aris Water Solutions,此举旨在将其业务拓展至二叠纪盆地蓬勃发展的水处理领域。
消息方面:Western Midstream 宣布以每股 0.625 股自身普通股或 25 美元现金(较前日收盘价溢价 23%)收购 Aris Water Solutions,现金支付上限为 4.15 亿美元。通过此次交易,Western Midstream(其最大股东为西方石油)将获得 Aris 在北美核心产油区二叠纪盆地运营的约 790 英里废水管道网络(日处理能力达 180 万桶),成为该地区主要的水资源处理商。
由于二叠纪盆地每生产一桶原油就会产生约五桶废水,废水处理业务正成为石油生产中日益重要的组成部分。处理废水的主要方式是通过管道将其输送出去,然后注入地下的处置井。据行业咨询公司Enverus称,过去15年里,二叠纪盆地各地的水处理量增长了7倍多。
