02:45 PM EDT, 08/01/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Blackstone (BX) is the frontrunner to acquire data provider Enverus in a $6 billion deal, Reuters reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Blackstone returned as a suitor after dropping out of the auction process in early July, three sources told the media outlet.

Although Veritas Capital was among the suitors, Blackstone is likely to prevail in the acquisition of the Hellman & Friedman-owned company, the people said, adding that a deal is not guaranteed.

Blackstone didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
