Privately held Cygnet Energy will acquire Kiwetinohk Energy in an all-cash deal valued at C$1.4 billion, including debt.
The acquisition creates a larger Montney and Duvernay operator, with these areas in Alberta being among Canada's most prolific shale oil and gas plays, driving recent production growth and investment.
Cygnet will pay C$24.75 per share, a 10.4% premium to Kiwetinohk’s last close.
