DEA expands in Mexico with Sierra takeover
Report summary
DEA is to acquire Mexico's Sierra Oil & Gas in the country's largest upstream M&A deal since the historic energy reform was enacted. Most notably the deal features Sierra's interest in Zama – the flagship field and shallow-water discovery that has defined Sierra since its successful Round One bid. DEA is committed to an aggressive growth strategy in Mexico and plans to deploy US$1 billion to increase its new position. The company is in the midst of merging with BASF's Wintershall to become DEA Wintershall and there are plans to take the combined international E&P public in 2019.
