  "account": "Private equity firm EnCap Investments is considering selling US oil and gas producer Enduring Resources IV for more than $4 billion, including debt, according to a Reuters report. EnCap and its investors are working with Jefferies Financial Group on a potential sale process set to begin in early 2027. While strategic buyers may show interest, the company's size could lead to separate asset sales to multiple acquirers. Enduring Resources, headquartered in Denver, primarily operates in the San Juan Basin of Colorado and New Mexico. The firm acquired the fourth iteration of the business in 2017, expanding through acquisitions such as land purchased from WPX Energy in 2018 and a merger with private equity-backed operator DJR Energy in 2023. With over 557,000 net acres and 229 million barrels of oil equivalent in proven reserves as of 2025, Enduring Resources was led by CEO Barth Whitham.",
