Centalion, the commodities trader formerly known as Gunvor, has acquired a portfolio of natural-gas assets from Silver Hill Energy Partners in a deal valued at approximately $1.5 billion, according to people familiar with the matter. This acquisition positions Centalion as a major player in the Haynesville basin, a prolific gas region spanning Texas and Louisiana. The transaction reflects confidence in sustained U.S. gas demand domestically and internationally, driven by Middle East supply disruptions and the rising energy needs of data centers.
Centalion's rebranding follows its strategic push to expand in the energy commodities market. The deal underscores growing investor interest in U.S. energy infrastructure amid global supply constraints.
