We’ll cover what’s remaining, trending activity, and buyers to watch.
The U.S. upstream M&A market has changed substantially in recent years. The wave of consolidation, particularly in the Permian, has concentrated core asset ownership into the hands of large operators and narrowed the field of high-quality inventory opportunities left to buy.
As the landscape evolves, the buyer profile and nature of the deals they’re after are also changing- shifting the spotlight from public companies aimed at expanding their Permian footprint to private equity firms and international buyers hunting for U.S. assets. After years of being overshadowed by oil in M&A, gas assets are poised to have their time in the limelight and be at the top of the list for these buyers as LNG and datacenter demand ramps.
Join Andrew Dittmar and Adam Thompson for a discussion on the latest developments in the M&A market, including activity trends, asset valuations and the emerging buyer landscape.
