Deal Description: Peak 10 Energy Holdings (“Peak 10”) today announced a transaction with Strawn Petroleum Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (“Oaktree”), which will contribute the equity of Strawn Petroleum, LP (“Strawn”) and certain affiliates in exchange for the issuance of certain shares of Peak 10.

Strawn’s assets are in the Midland Basin’s Eastern Shelf, adjacent to Peak 10’s existing asset position in the Hermleigh Field. The operational synergies associated with this acquisition enhance the value of Peak 10’s oil and gas investment platform, which focuses on creating value by acquiring long-life oil and gas assets throughout the continental United States.

Strawn currently produces ~800 barrels of oil equivalent per day, the majority of which is operated, and holds an acreage position of over 13,000 net acres. Browning Oil Company Incorporated, the current operator of Peak 10’s existing Hermleigh Field position, will serve as the contract operator on behalf of Peak 10.

Baker Botts served as legal advisor to Peak 10 and financial sponsor Legacy Star.
