Diversified Energy announced a definitive agreement to acquire Birch Permian Holdings for about $1.8 billion, funded largely via Carlyle-backed ABS and Diversified’s liquidity. The acquisition is expected to increase production by roughly 35% and Adjusted EBITDA by about 55% on a pro forma basis, expanding DEC’s Permian footprint and creating a platform for future PDP consolidation and margin capture through integrated assets.
