In the last five years, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) played an important role in helping oil and gas companies survive through one of the most severe downturns in the industry. Oil and gas companies executed a number of deals as they acquired companies and assets at attractive valuations. They also offloaded the ones that could impact profitability. The upstream sector, especially the US shales and assets in the North Sea drove the M&A activity in the oil and gas industry.

The US is the epicenter for M&A deals

Development of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technologies for hydrocarbon extraction from shale formations created a boom in US oil & gas production.
