M&A activity among oil and gas producers grabs the headlines — who doesn’t take notice when ExxonMobil acquires Pioneer Natural Resources or Chevron announces plans to buy Hess Corp.? But acquisitions in the midstream space can be just as impactful. After all, these companies gather, process, transport, store and export the crude oil, natural gas, NGLs and refined products that the ExxonMobils and Chevrons of the world produce. And midstreamers, like integrated giants and E&Ps, are seeking the scale, scope and synergies they think they will need to succeed in an increasingly competitive industry. In this new Drill Down Report, we discuss the major midstream deals of 2024 and 2025 to date.
Key takeaways from the report include:
- Midstreamers joining forces can enable a broader range of services — and more destination optionality
- M&A also enables companies to boost their asset base in key production areas
- The Permian Basin is at the center of many deals, but the Eagle Ford and other areas also included
- More acquisitions? Sure, but recent M&A has been limiting the number of targets
