Let's dive into the slowdown of upstream M&A activity in 2025 and what it means for the industry. With over $150 billion in global deal opportunities still on the table, this year is shaping up to be one of strategic recalibration rather than record-breaking transactions.

🔥 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  1. 🌍 Industry Highlights: How geopolitical risks, US supply growth, and OPEC+ strategies are shaping the upstream sector.
  2. 📉 A Cooling Market: Why M&A activity is slowing and what’s driving cautious valuations.
  3. 💡 Opportunities Amid Challenges: Exploring $150 billion worth of deals, with North America and the Middle East leading the way.
  4. 🛢️ North America’s Role: The Permian Basin remains a focal point, but what’s next for smaller-scale transactions?
  5. 🌟 The Middle East’s Rise: Why LNG projects are making this region a hotspot for strategic investments.

We’ll also discuss the future of oil and gas M&A, focusing on high-quality assets, energy transition synergies, and operational efficiency as top priorities for companies navigating this evolving landscape.

📈 Despite a cooling market, opportunities abound for savvy players ready to adapt to shifting priorities and position themselves for long-term success.
