Diversified has used this week’s Independent Petroleum Association of America Annual Conference to reinforce the importance of disciplined capital allocation, operational consistency and innovative financing in the future of the energy sector.
Michael Rigg, Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer of Diversified, joined other industry leaders for a discussion on the direction of energy capital markets. The central message was clear: companies with a clear operating model, a disciplined approach to capital and the ability to adapt financing structures are likely to be better positioned as markets continue to evolve.
Rigg highlighted the role of capital markets innovation in shaping the sector’s next phase. He noted that some of the most significant innovation is taking place in the way capital is structured, scaled and deployed. For Diversified, that theme is closely linked to its use of asset-backed securities financing in the energy sector. The company has completed 12 ABS securitisations to date, reflecting its focus on matching financing structures with the characteristics of its asset base.
The company also pointed to its acquisition strategy as a key part of its growth model. Diversified has announced more than $7 billion from 36 transactions, building scale through a series of strategic acquisitions.
Diversified Energy Company plc (LON:DEC, NYSE:DEC) is an independent energy company engaged in the production, marketing, transportation and retirement of primarily natural gas and natural gas liquids related to its U.S. onshore upstream and midstream assets.
