KKR in Talks to Buy Most of Samson Investment

Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. is in talks to buy most of Samson Investment Co., a privately held U.S. oil and gas company, Reuters reported Tuesday. The private equity firm is not likely to want Samson's Gulf of Mexico assets, one of the sources said. While the whole company could be worth $8 billion to $10 billion, KKR's bid without the Gulf of Mexico assets is likely to be in the range of $7 billion, Reuters wrote.
