Cinco currently owns a 14.45546% limited partnership interest in DDjet with the general partner holding 80%. The DDjet partners had previously received a third-party offer to purchase all partnership interests.
Closing is expected by July 18. The general partner holds a preferential purchase right to match the terms.
Petrosearch invested $14.9 million in DDjet, resulting in a 242% return in less than 18 months. The company will focus on its Quinduno waterflood project in Roberts County in the Texas Panhandle.
