Article Summary

BUY
  • Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation (NYSE: MGY) shares fell about 3% on Tuesday after Magnolia Oil & Gas announced a definitive agreement to acquire private equity-backed WildFire Energy for approximately $4 billion.
  • The transaction is expected to expand Magnolia Oil & Gas's position in South Texas and more than double its footprint in the Giddings field, with WildFire currently producing about 53,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day with approximately 70% of production weighted toward oil across roughly 810,000 net acres.
  • WildFire has expanded through acquisitions including the purchase of Hawkwood Energy in 2021 as well as organic development, and the acquisition will strengthen its position in the South Texas region by adding large-scale asset base and increasing development inventory.
  • Warburg Pincus Managing Director Ryan Dalton wrote that WildFire represents a rare combination of high-quality underdeveloped assets, market opportunity, and strong management team with unique capabilities to acquire, optimize and scale oil and gas assets.
