Werte in diesem Artikel
RPC Inc. RES has enhanced its presence in the Permian Basin with the acquisition of Pintail Completions, a leading wireline service provider, in a deal valued at approximately $245 million. The move underscores RPC’s commitment to expanding its oilfield services portfolio with high-margin, cash-generating assets.Pintail, headquartered in Midland, TX, is a well-established name in wireline completions, operating more than 30 active fleets with both conventional and electric wireline units. The acquisition aligns with RPC’s strategy of focusing on service lines that deliver strong profitability and efficient cash conversion. With a robust client base comprising Tier 1 exploration and production (E&P) companies in the Midland and Delaware basins, Pintail is expected to enhance RPC’s standing in the most prolific oil-producing region in the U.S. land market.For RPC, the deal is not just about geographic expansion — it is about operational synergy. Pintail’s cutting-edge equipment, reputation for service excellence, and commitment to safety and efficiency make it a valuable addition. In 2024, Pintail generated approximately $409 million in revenues, bearing a testament to its strong market position. RPC expects the acquisition to be accretive to its 2025 earnings per share and free cash flow, reinforcing the financial appeal of the transaction.Ben M. Palmer, president and CEO of RPC, highlighted the acquisition as a milestone in the company's strategic growth. He noted that Pintail Completions, known for its leadership in wireline perforation services, strengthens RPC’s existing offerings and enhances its position in the sector. The transaction adds a well-established brand with strong margins and solid cash flow generation to RPC’s portfolio.For Pintail, joining forces with RPC represents an opportunity for continued growth while maintaining operational independence. Matt Houston, Pintail's co-founder and president, expressed enthusiasm about continuing the company’s journey with RPC while maintaining its independent operations. He highlighted that RPC’s platform supports Pintail in preserving its operating model and customer-focused approach, which has been instrumental in serving clients and stakeholders effectively. He also emphasized that RPC’s strategy fosters a strong environment where entrepreneurs and operators can continue to succeed.The $245 million acquisition was structured with $170 million in cash, $25 million in restricted RPC stock, and a $50 million three-year note issued to one of the sellers. The agreement includes customary post-closing adjustments related to Pintail’s working capital and other financial considerations.With this acquisition, RPC cements its position as a diversified oilfield service leader, leveraging Pintail’s capabilities to drive growth and enhance its operational footprint in the Permian Basin.Zacks Rank & Stocks to ConsiderRPC currently carries a Zack Rank #4 (Sell).Investors interested in the energy sector may look at some better-ranked stocks like Archrock Inc.
