据外媒6月20日报道，石油和天然气生产商马拉松石油公司表示，其已同意从风险投资公司Encap手中，以8.88亿美元收购PayRock能源控股公司，以此提升该公司在俄克拉荷马盆地的战略地位。
马拉松石油公司拥有俄克拉荷马州净26.5万英亩的开发面积，同时该公司表示在2月份已拨出14%或折合2.04亿美元的资本支出用于盆地开发。
PayRock公司，是一家由Encap投资的以俄克拉荷马州和堪萨斯州为主的组合公司，目前产量为9000桶净油当量/天。
当前，油价暴跌近57%下推了油气资产的估值，使得此项并购更具吸引力。

Marathon Oil to buy PayRock Energy Holdings for $888 mln
June 20 (Reuters) - Oil and natgas producer Marathon Oil Corp said it agreed to buy PayRock Energy Holdings LLC for $888 million from venture capital firm EnCap Investments, boosting its presence in the Oklahoma basin.
Marathon Oil, which held about 265,000 net acres in Oklahoma, said in February it has allocated about 14 percent or $204 million of its 2016 capital spending to the basin.
PayRock, an Oklahoma and Kansas-focused portfolio company of EnCap Investments, has current production of about 9,000 net barrels of oil equivalent per day in Oklahoma.
A near 57 percent plunge in oil prices has pushed down the valuation of oil acreages, making acquisitions more attractive.
