Carlyle intends to explore opportunities to securitize these assets. This securitization strategy unlocks long-term and resilient financing for this segment of the nation’s energy infrastructure by packaging these assets into tradable financial instruments.

Diversified Energy Company (NASDAQ:DEC) is an independent owner and operator of producing natural gas & oil wells primarily in the Appalachian Basin of the US.
