Report summary
Diamondback Energy is acquiring QEP Resources and Guidon Operating (a subsidiary of Guidon Energy) in two deals worth US$2.15 billion and US$862 million respectively. The transactions were somewhat opportunistic; Diamondback is one of a few companies capable of making an acquisition in the current phase of consolidation. We view the deal as a tacit acknowledgement to the importance of scale going forward in the Permian, particularly with Midland Basin inventory.
