ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
All mergers and acquisitions disclosed below are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, we conducted assessments of the net assets acquired and recognized amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair values, while transaction and integration costs associated with the acquisition were expensed as incurred. The fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on inputs that are not observable in the market, and therefore represent Level 3 inputs. The fair values of crude oil and natural gas properties were measured using valuation techniques that converted future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant inputs to the valuation of the crude oil and natural gas properties included estimates of reserves, future operating and development costs, future commodity prices, estimated future cash flows, reserve adjustment factors, and a market-based weighted-average cost of capital. These inputs required significant judgments and estimates by management at the time of the valuation.
Vencer Acquisition
On January 2, 2024, we completed the acquisition of certain crude oil and natural gas assets from Vencer Energy, LLC (“Vencer”) for adjusted aggregate consideration of approximately $2.0 billion, inclusive of customary post-closing adjustments and $550 million in cash to be paid on or before January 3, 2025 (the “Vencer Acquisition”). The following tables present the consideration transferred and the final purchase price allocation of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the Vencer Acquisition:

Revenue and earnings of the acquiree
The results of operations for the Vencer Acquisition since the closing date have been included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The amount of revenue of Vencer included in our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations (“statements of operations”) was approximately $198 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. We determined that disclosing the amount of Vencer-related net income included in the accompanying statements of operations is impracticable as the operations from the acquisition were integrated into our operations from the date of the acquisition.
Supplemental unaudited pro forma financial information
The results of operations for the Vencer Acquisition since the closing date have been included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and therefore do not require pro forma disclosure for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Transaction costs
Transaction costs related to insignificant acquisitions in the Permian Basin in 2025 and the Vencer Acquisition in 2024 are accounted for separately from the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and are included in transaction costs in the accompanying statements of operations. We incurred transaction costs of $6 million and $23 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
