WPX Energy to enter Permian Basin with $2.35 billion deal


    (Reuters) - Oil and gas producer WPX Energy Inc said it will acquire privately held RKI Exploration & Production LLC [REPI.UL] for $2.35 billion, the latest instance of producers joining forces amid weak oil prices.

    WPX Energy, which will also assume $400 million of debt, said the deal will give it access to the liquids-rich Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico.
