$215M Drop Down Acquisition Adds Premier Acreage Across Four Basins
KRP sits 30% above its 52-week low of $11.31.
Summary
Kimbell Royalty Partners is acquiring oil and gas royalty interests from affiliated sellers for $215.4 million, funded with $74.9 million cash and 9.5 million newly issued common units valued at $140.5 million. The deal adds 2,568 net royalty acres across the Eagle Ford, Permian, Mid-Con, and Appalachia, with expected Q3 2026 production of 2,347 boe/d (841 Bbl/d oil, 569 Bbl/d NGLs, 5,624 Mcf/d natural gas) and a shallow 13% decline rate. The targeted multi-basin portfolio spans over 3 million gross acres with over 29,000 gross producing wells in high-growth areas across the Lower 48. Management expects immediate accretion to distributable cash flow per unit. This follows the $145.9 million Permian Basin acquisition completed in June, signaling an active consolidation strategy. The transaction is expected to close around August 21, 2026, subject to customary conditions.
