据道琼斯3月21日消息,马拉松石油公司正斥资7亿美元收购美国二叠纪盆地2.1万英亩土地,这是该公司本月在二叠纪盆地的第二起收购交易。众多页岩油生产商已经在扩大二叠纪盆地的业务。横跨西得克萨斯州和新墨西哥州的二叠纪盆地已经被认为是美国非常规钻探区域中开采成本最佳的地区。随着此次收购交易的完成,马拉松石油公司当前在二叠纪盆地已经拥有逾9万英亩的土地,大部分位于新墨西哥州。

Marathon Oil Grabs Some More of the Permian Basin
Marathon Oil (MRO) is picking up 21K acres in the Permian for $700M in cash, its second deal in the popular drilling field this month. Many shale producers have been trying to expand their footprints in region--which spans from West Texas into New Mexico--because it has arguably the best break-even prices among unconventional US drilling fields. With the acquisition, MRO now has more than 90K acres in the Permian, most of it on the New Mexico side.
