Devon Is Coming To The Bakken -- June 8, 2022

Updates

July 21, 2022: deal closes.

Original Post

Devon is tracked here

Dividends: it is hard to figure out what the "regular fixed dividend" is but it appears to be 34 cents.

DVN:

  • today: closed down slightly during the day; trading at $78
  • down minimally after hours, after announcement
  • P/E = 14
  • market cap = $52 billion
  • pays 6.52% 
    • pays a regular fixed and a variable dividend
    • dividend history here; from 9 cents two years ago to $1.27 now which will be increased. In the chart below, I assume both "fixed" and "variable" dividend included.

Breaking: Devon is coming to North Dakota. Lynn Helms said this back in 2011 and the blog caught it! Whoo-hoo! Actually caught it twice, see below. Press release here.

From an earlier post on the blog:

  • July 25, 2021: buyout offer
    • private equity firm Warburg Pincus asked for indicative acquisition offers for a deal that could exceed $500 million

Put this in context with NOG's announcement of a Bakken bolt-on addition yesterday.

  • buyer: Devon
  • seller: RimRock Oil and Gas LP
  • deal:
    • 38,000 net acres in the Williston Basin / Bakken
    • $865 million
  • back of envelope, $/acre:
    • $865 million / 38,000 net acres = $23,000 / net acre
  • production: RimRock’s first-quarter production was approximately 15,000 Boe per day (78% oil), with volumes expected to increase to an average of 20,000 Boe per day over the next year.
  • back of the envelope, $/flowing boepd:
    • $865 million / 15,000 boepd = $60,000 peer flowing boepd
    • almost identical to the NOG acquisition linked above

Reuter's link here.

Devon will approve a 13% increase to the fixed quarterly dividend following the closing of the deal. The company also expects this transaction to be accretive to the variable dividend payout in 2022 and beyond.
