Forbes: Oil And Gas Merger Action Surges After A Dormant First Quarter
M&A activity in the U.S. upstream oil and gas industry rebounded in Q2, with a focus on acquiring drilling positions in the Permian Basin. The superior quality and quantity of rock in the Permian, along with lower breakeven prices, drove the resurgence in interest. Chevron made a $7.6 billion takeover of PDC Energy in the Denver Julesburg (DJ) Basin, attracted by the sub-$50 break-even prices and tier one prospects. Civitas Resources also entered the Permian through the acquisition of TapRock Resources and Hibernia Energy III, with the TapRock deal providing the best asset quality. There is potential for further consolidation in the industry due to the large number of public companies, which would lead to lower costs and better address regulatory and environmental concerns.

The surge in capital spending and the decline in exports further highlight the effects of economic slowdowns elsewhere. The lackluster inventory response also suggests a lack of confidence in rapid growth.
