Baytex Energy Corp. has officially closed the sale of its U.S. Eagle Ford assets for US$2.14 billion, marking a decisive strategic pivot away from U.S. operations and toward a more focused Canadian growth and shareholder-return strategy. While the buyer was initially undisclosed, Texas regulatory filings now make the counterparty clear: the assets have transferred to Flywheel Energy, operating locally under Fw Eagle Ford I, LLC.
