Centennial Resource Development and Colgate Energy's US$7.0 billion combination is effectively a merger of equals that creates the largest pure-play Delaware Basin operator. The transaction offers clear rationale for both parties. Centennial gains greater scale and materiality, while Colgate's early investors get cash and public equity liquidity. The merger places a US$3.9 billion valuation on privately held Colgate. How does this compare to our valuation and what does the implied long-term oil price indicate about planning and valuation assumptions in a roaring commodity market? Furthemore, why could this deal serve as a template for subsequent public-private mergers?
