Legacy Reserves’ operations are focused on the development of unconventional plays in the Permian basin, as well as the management of shallow-decline oil and natural gas wells in the Permian basin, East Texas, Rocky Mountain and Mid-Continent regions.

In 2020, the company reported a total production of 38,200 boepd.

The report came as the rebound in oil prices increased consolidations in the sector, particularly in the Permian basin.

Last month, EnCap Investments merged two of its portfolio companies to create one of the largest privately-owned oil producers in the Delaware basin, a part of the larger Permian basin.

The combined firm, which has a value of more than $4bn including debt, is currently operating eight rigs.

EnCap may list the new company this year, depending on marketing conditions.
