DVN to buy SFS for $2350 million in stock plus $1000 million debt assumption. The combined company will have reserves of 1100 million BOE and will be 58% natural gas. dailynews.yahoo.com SFS brings reserves of 386.3 million BOE (at Dec. 31, 1999 as reported by S&P). Thus, this transaction values those reserves at $8.67 per barrel, which seems like a really good deal for DVN stockholders. Possibly someone with reserve valuation numbers for other recent mergers could comment.
