Diversified Energy Co. Plc agreed on April 26 to a $50 million acquisition of East Texas assets marking the fifth deal in Diversified’s central regional focus area, which the company only established roughly a year ago.

“Having emerged as a significant operator in the Central Region with a proven track record of execution in Appalachia and a strong balance sheet, we are well positioned to capitalize on additional opportunities,” Diversified CEO Rusty Hutson Jr. commented in a company release.

Headquartered in Birmingham, Ala., and listed on the London Stock Exchange, Diversified’s business model focuses exclusively on buying high margin, low-decline producing assets, which, until an acquisition in Louisiana last May, had all been focused in the Appalachian Basin.
