据美国钻井网站2021年1月18日报道，美国第3大石油公司大陆菲利普斯公司（康菲公司）1月15日宣布，康菲公司日前完成了对康乔资源公司的收购，两家公司的股东都已批准合并。
康菲公司董事长兼首席执行官瑞安·兰斯在一份书面声明中表示，“我们感谢两家公司股东对此次交易的大力支持，我们认为这进一步肯定了此次交易将带来的重大利益。”“此次收购将导致两家领先企业的合并，这将引领我们对投资者至关重要的行业发生结构性变化。”
根据康菲公司网站上的一份情况说明书，这笔交易将创建一家市值约600亿美元的公司：
· 资源基础大约230亿桶油当量，WTI供应成本低于40美元/桶，平均供应成本低于30美元/桶
· 严格的资本配置，预计到明年，每年的成本和资本节约将达到5亿美元
· 通过股息和其他分配，提供超过30%的运营现金的财务框架
· 通过新的“与巴黎一致的气候风险”战略，对环境、社会和治理(ESG)予以更多的关注。
兰斯继续说道，“我也欢迎(前康乔资源公司董事长兼首席执行官)蒂姆·利奇加入康菲公司董事会和执行领导团队。蒂姆和他的公司建立了一家一流的二叠纪页岩公司，我们都期待通过这次交易创造重大价值。多亏我们的过渡团队在过去几个月里做出的巨大努力，我们很快就能实现两家公司的无缝整合，并成为页岩行业领导者。”
正如去年12月彭博社在美国钻井网站上发表的一篇文章所指出的，收购康乔资源公司将增加康菲公司在二叠纪盆地的影响力。然而，该新闻服务网站也指出，这项协议将带来大量裁员。康菲公司警告说，它可能会将休斯敦总部的员工削减多达25%。

ConocoPhillips Acquires Concho
ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) reported Friday that it has completed its acquisition of Concho Resources (NYSE: CXO), with shareholders of both firms having approved the combination.
“We appreciate the strong support for this transaction from the shareholders of both companies, which we view as further affirmation of the significant benefits it will deliver,” ConocoPhillips Chairman and CEO Ryan Lance commented in a written statement. “This acquisition results in the combination of two premier companies that can lead the structural change for our vital industry that’s critical to investors.”
According to a fact sheet A resource base of approximately 23 billion barrels of oil equivalent with a WTI cost of supply below $40 per barrel and an average cost of supply below $30 per barrel
Disciplined capital allocation with expected annual cost and capital savings of $500 million by next year
A financial framework that provides more than 30 percent of cash from operations via dividend and other distributions
Greater environmental, social, governance (ESG) focus with a new “Paris-Aligned Climate Risk” strategy.
“I also welcome (former Concho Chairman and CEO) Tim Leach to ConocoPhillips’ board of directors and executive leadership team,” Lance continued. “Tim and his organization built a best-in-class Permian company and we both look forward to creating significant value from this transaction. Thanks to the considerable efforts of our transition teams over these past few months, we’re off to a fast start toward seamlessly integrating our two companies and building momentum as a sector leader.”
As a December Bloomberg article posted to Rigzone noted, acquiring Concho will boost ConocoPhillips’ presence in the Permian Basin. The news service also reported, however, that the deal will bring significant job cuts. ConocoPhillips has warned that it could trim its Houston headquarters staff by up to 25 percent.
