Jay Moody, Managing Director with A&M’s Global Transaction Advisory group, was recently featured in Mergermarket’s article, North America Natural Resources Trendspotter: Oil and Gas Frenzy Drives Up Dealmaking.
M&A deal volume in North America’s natural resources sector in the first half of 2024 has surged by 66% compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to oil-and-gas transactions, accounting for more than half of the total deal volume. The sector has been lifted up by mega deals, with the average size of oil-and-gas transactions in North America reaching USD 895.6 million, the second highest since at least 1995.
In the article, Moody explains that deal activity in the sector in North America is expected to continue to pick up due to US asset consolidation, oilfield services looking to scale and PE firms finally seeing exit opportunities.
Despite the focus on the US, Canada's oilfield service-related M&A activity is anticipated to increase following projects like Canada's Trans Mountain oil pipeline.
“These projects should lead to better market pricing for Canadian producers, creating opportunities for oilfield services providers in the region,” he added.
