Houston hosted oil and gas conference and exposition NAPE last week – and it was anything but bustling.
Granted, the event – which organizers say is “where deals happen” – attracts fewer attendees in the summer than in the winter, including more than 12,000 people this past February.
But this year’s summer expo was “subdued,” as trade publication Hart Energy put it, bringing in more than 2,500 people and 185 exhibitors, versus an expected 3,000 people and 200 exhibitors. That was down from 2,800 people and 225 exhibitors last summer and 3,000 people and 200 exhibitors back in 2016.
Blame low commodity prices – and low deal flow – for the anemic attendance this year. The capital markets are largely shut off to oil and gas explorers and producers and investors are only rewarding companies that are adding cash flow and cutting costs through their dealmaking.
Witness PDC Energy’s $1.7 billion purchase of SRC Energy announced Monday. The deal – which came in at a low premium and with expectations that it would generate $50 million in annual cost savings and be accretive on a variety of metrics – led the shares of both companies to jump by the double digits.
“[The] positive stock performance might provide a visible roadmap to future deals,” analysts at Tudor, Pickering, Holt wrote in a Tuesday note.
Dealmaking among Texas lawyers picked up a bit this past week, with 16 transactions amounting to $10 billion versus 10 deals valued at $1.68 billion the week before and 10 transactions worth $12.4 billion at the same time last year.

Latham, Bracewell Assist on Pembina’s $3.3B Purchase of Kinder Morgan Canada, Cochin Pipeline
As The Texas Lawbook reported last week, Texas lawyers at two firms had a hand in Pembina Pipeline Corp.’s agreement to purchase Kinder Morgan Inc.’s 70% stake in Kinder Morgan Canada Ltd. and the U.S. portion of Kinder Morgan’s Cochin pipeline system for C$4.35 billion ($3.3 billion).
Latham & Watkins was Pembina’s U.S. legal advisor with a team led by New York partner Christopher Cross and Houston partner Jesse Myers with help from Houston associates Lauren Anderson, Michael Sellner and Sarah McLeroy.
Houston specialists included tax partner Tim Fenn and associate Jared Grimley; environmental partner Joel Mack; and finance partner Trevor Wommack and associate Benjamin Gelfand.
Stikeman Elliott was Pembina’s Canadian legal advisor with a group led by partner Chris Nixon in Calgary. Its in-house counsel included chief legal officer Harry Anderson, general counsel Chris Scherman, senior legal counsel Juliamai Giffen and legal counsel Helen Cox.
Bracewell was Kinder Morgan’s U.S. legal advisor, including partners Cle Dade and Lytch Gutmann. Others on the deal were partners Troy L. Harder,Heather L. Brown, Scott C. Sanders and Rebecca L. Baker in Houston and Timothy A. Wilkins in Austin and associates Kate B. McGregor, Kathy Witty Medford and Jay N. Larry, all of Houston. Attorneys in the firm’s New York and Washington, D.C., offices also helped out.
Blake, Cassels & Graydon (partner Olga Kary in Calgary) was Kinder Morgan’s Canadian legal advisor and Goodmans counseled its special committee on the transaction.
Kinder Morgan’s in-house team was led by general counsel Catherine Callaway James, who joined the company in February after serving as general counsel of Dynegy (which was acquired by Vistra last year). Kinder Morgan’s previous general counsel, James Curtis “Curt” Moffatt, died unexpectedly in December.
Others on Kinder Morgan’s legal team were deputy general counsel Adam Forman, managing counsel Eric McCord and assistant general counsel Angela Teer.
J.P. Morgan was Kinder Morgan’s financial advisor while BMO Capital Markets assisted the special committee. TD Securities Inc. was Pembina’s financial advisor.
The deal values Kinder Morgan Canada at C$2.3 billion, or $15.02 per share, based on a stock exchange that represents a 32% premium as well as assumed debt. The transaction for the U.S. part of the Cochin is valued at C$2.05 billion in cash.
Analysts had thought Houston-based Kinder Morgan might sell its remaining stake in Kinder Morgan Canada after it encountered opposition to the Trans Mountain pipeline system and development project in British Columbia. It sold the project to the Canadian government’s Canada Development Investment Corp. this past summer for $3.5 billion.
Jefferies analyst Christopher Sighinolfi characterized the move as “Punting to Pembina,” noting Kinder Morgan’s alternative option to grow the unit as a standalone entity. “We find this quick pivot interesting,” he said.
Kinder Morgan said it plans to use the cash proceeds from Cochin to reduce net debt, a move that would shrink its debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio to 4.4 times versus an expected 4.6 times by year-end. The company said it expects to ultimately convert its Pembina shares into cash but in an “opportunistic and non-disruptive manner.”
The acquisition of Kinder Morgan Canada has to clear shareholders and regulators and is expected to close in the first half of next year.
Pembina plans to fund the Cochin purchase through its C$2.5 billion unsecured credit facility and a new C$1 billion committed term facility. The company expects to refinance that facility by issuing medium-term notes.
Munsch advises Ambit on $475M sale to Vistra
Irving-based power generator and retailer Vistra Energy announced Aug. 20 that it agreed to acquire Ambit Energy of Dallas for $475 million in cash plus net working capital, making it the top electricity seller in Texas.
Munsch Hardt Kopf & Harr in Dallas counseled Ambit. Dallas shareholder Mike Hainsfurther led the group, which included shareholders Chris Speer, Peter Lorenzen, Jim Jordan and Mark Kopidlansky and associate Nicole Manley.
Latham & Watkins assisted Vistra with attorneys out of New York and Washington, D.C.
Vistra’s in-house counsel on the deal was managing counsel Greg Santos, who joined in 2017 after working as senior counsel at Energy Future Holdings for 15 years. Before that he was an associate at Thelen Reid Brown Raysman & Steiner.
Ambit’s financial advisor was Scotiabank.
Ambit’s management includes co-founder and CEO Jere Thompson and co-founder and chief operating officer Chris Chambless. Hunt Investments reportedly owns a minority stake in the company. Thompson wouldn’t comment on the company’s ownership.
The transaction has to clear regulators but is expected to close by the end of the year.
The Ambit deal will result in Vistra’s share of the ERCOT residential market to expand to 32 percent from 25 percent and an industry-leading 26 percent in all U.S. competitive markets.
Vistra CEO and president Curt Morgan said in a statement that Ambit is an attractive standalone retail company and a great match for Vistra’s retail business given its leading direct selling capability and its proprietary technology platform.
“Given the attractive EBITDA to free cash flow conversion profile of the business, we expect the transaction to have a minimal impact on Vistra’s credit metrics and our capital allocation plan moving forward,” he said.
Ambit has 1.1 million residential customer equivalents in 17 states and generates an estimated $1.3 billion in sales. Vistra said the company’s administrative overlap in North Texas will allow it to capture synergies and quickly integrate operations.
Vistra expects the Ambit business will contribute $125 million to adjusted EBITDA once it achieves a full run-rate of $25 million of anticipated annual synergies.
Wood sells nuke unit for $305M
Aberdeen-based oilfield services provider John Wood Group said Aug. 20 that it sold its nuclear business in the U.K., Europe and the Far East to Jacobs Engineering for $302 million.
Michael Bante was in-house counsel for Dallas-based Jacobs, whose outside counsel was Paul Hastings out of London.
Slaughter and May was legal counsel to Wood, which used Price Waterhouse Coopers as its financial advisor.
Wood has been selling assets to cut debt taken on with its $2.7 billion acquisition of Amec Foster Wheeler Ltd. in 2017. It reported a 2.6% drop in sales in the first half of the year due to the slump in the oil and gas industry.
Jacobs chairman and CEO Steve Demetriou said in a statement that the acquisition further strengthens the company’s position in highly profitable and complementary sectors within nuclear and defense.
The company expects the deal to boost its earnings per share by 10 cents to 12 cents in the first 12 months of ownership. It hopes to achieve $12 million in yearly synergies.
The transaction has to clear regulators but is expected to close in Jacobs’ second quarter of 2020. Jacobs agreed to pay a $9 million fee to Wood if the deal isn’t cleared by the U.K. Competition and Markets Authority.
Jacobs expects to finance the transaction with cash on hand and through its credit facilities.
The business is anticipated to generate $285 million in sales this year and employs more than 2,000.
DLA Piper aids Kayne Anderson on $100M Indianola commitment
Houston-based Indianola Energy said it received a $100 million equity commitment from its management team and Kayne Anderson Energy Fund VIII.
Partner Drew Baldinger and associate Emma Jiang in Houston advised Kayne Anderson. Management’s counsel couldn’t be determined by press time.
Indianola plans to provide capital and an execution team to help producers accelerate value on undeveloped acreage in highly-proven resource plays in North America. The management team is led by Chapman Amend and Todd Burgamy.
Amend started his career at El Paso Corp. and later built and led operating teams for Millennial Energy Partners in Oklahoma’s Stack play and Pine Brook-backed Stonegate Production Co. in South Texas’ Eagle Ford Shale.
Burgamy previously worked at Kayne Anderson, where he was involved in upstream and midstream investments, and at Simmons & Co., where he was an analyst in the investment banking group.
“As the market has shifted to placing a preference on living within cash flow, we believe Indianola’s strategy is helpful to the industry today by providing creative solutions to offer value for non-producing assets in highly proven basins,” Amend said. “Indianola will seek to implement this strategy through both outright acquisitions and partnership structures designed to accelerate value for operators.”
Patrick Lissonnet led the commitment from Kayne Anderson, which manages $6.4 billion in capital dedicated to investments in primarily upstream and midstream oil and gas companies.
Baker Botts aids Forum on $47.8M Ashtead sale to Buckthorn
Baker Botts said Aug. 21 that it advised Forum Energy Technologies Inc. on the sale of its 40% interest in subsea rentals company Ashtead Technology to Ashtead majority holder Buckthorn Partners and other investors.
The team included Houston partner Jim Marshall and associates Ieuan List and Catherine Ellis along with attorneys in the firm’s London office.
Sidley Austin counseled Buckhorn with attorneys out of its London office (partners Will Smith and Sava Savov).
As part of the deal, the parties will settle Forum’s $3.68 million loan to Ashtead, leading Forum to receive $39 million in cash proceeds and a new $8.59 million loan with a three-year maturity. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter.
Forum chairman and CEO Cris Gaut said in a statement that the proceeds from the transaction will be used to further reduce debt, accelerating its debt reduction strategy.
“Over the last three quarters, Forum’s strong free cash flow generation has allowed us to reduce our net debt by approximately $54 million and we expect this momentum to continue in the second half of 2019,” he said.
Ashtead employs more than 160 people in Aberdeen, Abu Dhabi, Broussard, Halifax, Houma, Houston, London and Singapore.
Forum became an investor in 2018 when it contributed its subsea rentals products in exchange for the 40% equity interest. Ashtead generated $2.5 million in equity income to Forum’s results in the 12 months ending in June.
Pillsbury advises Upland on $25.7M Cimpl purchase
Upland, an Austin cloud-based enterprise management software provider, said Aug. 22 it bought Cimpl for $23.1 million in cash and a $2.6 million cash holdback payable in 12 months.
Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman partner Steve Tyndall in Austin advised Upland along with Canadian counsel Fasken (Jay Lefton). Upland’s in-house was general counsel Kin Gill.
Davies in Montreal (partner Justin Vineberg) represented Cimpl, a cloud-based telecom expense management platform.
Upland expects the acquisition to generate annual revenue of $8 million. The company said the purchase is within its target price range of 5 times to 8 times pro forma adjusted EBITDA and will generate at least $3.6 million in adjusted EBITDA per year once fully integrated.
Upland chairman and CEO Jack McDonald said the deal creates the first IT and telecom expense management cloud and should bring its sales run rate to $228 million per year.
Locke Lord represents Hunting on $12.5M RTI oil and gas purchase
Locke Lord said it represented London-based Hunting on its purchase of the business and assets of RTI Energy Systems Inc., a unit of Pittsburgh-based Arconic Inc., for $12.5 million.
The team was led by partner Walker Clarke and included partners Steve Boyd, Jerry Higdon, Berne Kluber, Joe Perillo, Ed Razim and Buddy Sanders, senior counsel Michelle Gutierrez-Begin and associates Elizabeth Corey, Stuart Lawson and Jeff McPhaul, all of Houston.
Calash provided financial advice to Arconic on the sale. Hunting funded the deal with available cash.
Houston-based RTI makes production risers for deepwater applications, mostly for the Gulf of Mexico. It claims to be the only supplier of titanium stress joints, which provide a more reliable, compact and lower cost alternative to flexible joints and steel tapered stress joints.
Arconic has valued RTI at $13 million. Last year the unit booked an operating loss on sales of $7.1 million.
Hunting CEO Jim Johnson said RTI will provide the company with an enlarged product offering at a time of new offshore deepwater projects being commissioned in the U.S., Brazil and Guyana.
Gibson Dunn counsels CenterOak on TruRoad sale
Gibson Dunn & Crutcher said Aug. 21 it’s advising CenterOak Partners on its sale of TruRoad Holdings Inc. to Safelite Group Inc., a unit of the Belron Group.
Terms weren’t disclosed, but CenterOak makes equity investments of $20 million to $90 million in companies with enterprise values of $50 million to $250 million.
Partner Robert Little led the deal team, which included associates Joseph Orien, Kiel Sauerman and Steve Wright, all of Dallas.
