FAQ

What's the difference between an asset sale and a stock sale when buying a Midland or Odessa business?

In an asset sale, the buyer purchases specific assets and usually avoids the seller's hidden liabilities; in a stock sale, the buyer acquires the entire entity, including liabilities. For oilfield-services businesses, asset deals are especially common because buyers want to avoid inheriting environmental or contract liabilities.

What is due diligence when buying an oilfield-services or energy-related business?

Due diligence means reviewing financials, contracts, leases, litigation history, tax records, licenses, employee matters, and outstanding debts or liens. For Permian Basin businesses, it also means checking equipment liens, environmental compliance history, and existing master service agreements with operators.
