Devon Energy is selling its position in Texas' Barnett shale for $770 million, leaving the birthplace of the shale revolution without any top industry players.
After selling other parts of its Barnett position previously, Devon will exit the region with the $770 million sale to a Denver-based private equity firm called Kalnin Ventures, which is primarily backed by the Thailand coal-mining and power giant Banpu. The shale position will be operated by BKV Oil & Gas Capital Partners.
The deal includes more than 320,000 gross acres and 4,200 producing wells, making BKV the biggest producer in the Barnett once the deal closes next year.
