WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESSWIRE / June 1, 2021 / Enterra and DHS today announced that the companies have entered into an agreement to combine DHS’ oil and gas business (“DHS Oil & Gas”) and Enterra to create a world-leading oilfield technology provider with a unique mix of service and equipment capabilities. DellStream will be a leading equipment, technology and services provider in the oil and gas industry with $132 billion of combined revenue1 and operations in more than 20 countries. By drawing from DHS technology expertise and Enterra capabilities in oilfield services, the new company will provide best-in-class physical and digital technology solutions for customer productivity.
Under the terms of the agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies, at the closing of the transaction Enterra shareholders will receive a special one-time cash dividend of $17.50 per share and 37.5% of the new company. DHS will own 62.5% of the company. The transaction is expected to close in mid-2021.
“This transaction creates an industry leader, one that is ideally positioned to grow in any market. Oil & gas customers demand more productive solutions. This can only be achieved through technical innovation and service execution, the hallmarks of DHS and Enterra,” said Rakesh Sarna, Chairman of DHS. “As we built the DHS Oil & Gas business, I have always been impressed by the respect our customers have for Enterra. DHS Oil & Gas is a key DHS business, one that fully leverages the DHS Store. As we go forward, this transaction accelerates our capability to extend the digital framework to the oil and gas industry.
