Calgary’s Strathcona Resources to go public through $8.6B deal to buy Pipestone Energy

Aug 1, 2023 | 6:53 AM

CALGARY, AB – Strathcona Resources Ltd. says it will go public through a deal to purchase oil and gas exploration company Pipestone Energy Corp.

Calgary-based oil and gas producer Strathcona says the deal will value the combined business at $8.6 billion.

It adds the new company will become the fifth largest oil producer in Canada.

Strathcona positioned the all-share deal as a way to give Pipestone shareholders a meaningful ownership stake in a large, low-decline rate, oil-weighted producer.

It says the deal will give Pipestone shareholders about 9.05 per cent of the pro forma equity in the amalgamated company on a fully-diluted basis.
