Rival Downhole Tools LC reported that it has acquired the operating assets of Hunting Energy Services Inc in exchange for Hunting PLC securing a minority equity interest in Rival.
The acquisition increases Rival’s US footprint and supports its international expansion.
“This transaction marks a milestone in our mission to build a market leadership position and provide a complete offering in downhole tools, in our view increasing the value of our company by over $25 million,” said Rival CEO Neil Fletcher.
He added: “The addition of Hunting’s drilling tool business will enable us to not only serve the US but also accelerate market reach and product development, leaving us ideally placed for a series of international launches in 2021, starting with the Middle East.”
Rival pointed out the combined company boasts complementary technologies, manufacturing, geographical footprints and engineering capabilities.
