Energy Pulse: International buyers find value in US gas assets
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Mitsubishi last week became the latest Japanese company to announce a deal for US gas assets, agreeing a US$7.5 billion deal to acquire Aethon, a Haynesville shale producer. It continued the active rate of M&A activity in US unconventional gas, which last year reached its highest level since 2011. The interest in US assets from foreign companies is being driven by some fundamental trends in the industry. The combination of soaring power demand from data centres for AI and a surge in construction of new LNG export facilities is putting upward pressure on US gas prices. And where opportunity flows, deals follow.
