Diversified Energy Company PLC and Carlyle have announced a strategic partnership to invest in up to $2 billion in existing proved developed producing (PDP) natural gas and oil assets across the United States. This exclusive partnership will combine Carlyle's deep credit and structuring expertise, led by Carlyle's asset-backed finance (ABF) team, with Diversified's market-leading operating capabilities and differentiated business model of acquiring and optimizing portfolios of existing long-life oil and gas assets to generate reliable production and consistent cash flow. The partnership enhances Diversified's access to capital in an attractive acquisition market.
Under the terms of the agreement, Diversified will serve as the operator and servicer of the newly acquired assets. As investments occur, Carlyle intends to pursue opportunities to securitize these assets, seeking to unlock long-term, resilient financing for this critical segment of the nation's energy infrastructure.
