CALGARY (Bloomberg) --Crescent Point Energy Corp. agreed to buy some of Royal Dutch Shell Plcâs Western Canadian shale operations for about C$900 million ($707 million) in the latest example of consolidation in the Canadian oil and gas sector.
Calgary-based Crescent Point, an oil driller with a focus on Saskatchewan, will acquire Shellâs Kaybob Duvernay assets for $550 million in cash and 50 million Crescent Point common shares. The assets are expected to produce about 35,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day by the second quarter, including a number of drilled and uncompleted wells that are about to come on stream, the company said in a release.
