COLORADO'S D-J BASIN SETTLES IN

摘要

After a flurry of consolidations large and small,the main Colorado portion of the Denver-Julesburg(D-J)Basin is broadly expected to have a quieter recovery year in 2021. It could almost be said that the recent consolidations in the play started at the top of the league table and is working its way down. The largest operator,Anadarko Petro-leum Corp.,was acquired by Occidental Ptroleum Corp. in August 2019. In October 2020,just 14 months later,the second largest operator,Noble Energy Inc.,was acquired by Chevron Corp. Other deals of various types have trans-pired as well.
