Duncan commented: “We are excited to close the EnVen transaction, which adds significant scale and diversity to our business and integrate these high-margin, oil-weighted assets, operated infrastructure and overlapping acreage into our portfolio, strengthening our position as a safe, reliable, responsible operator in the Gulf of Mexico. The added scale and greater free cash flow generation ability also allows us to be even more competitive in our Carbon Capture & Sequestration business. I’m extremely proud of the Talos team for their strong focus and hard work and appreciate the continued support of the EnVen employees as we work together to ensure successful integration and realize the valuable synergies this transaction provides. We look forward to sharing our plans for the future in our upcoming earnings call.”
