The low oil price and favourable margin environment in 2015 provided a window of opportunity for companies looking to divest European downstream assets, with stronger margins arguably attracting more buyers and better prices. Therefore 2015 saw a continuation of the high level of 2014 downstream M&A activity, particularly in the fuels marketing sector. The most prominent recent trends once again emerged from the 2015 transactions: the majors divesting non-core marketing assets, mostly to downstream-focussed specialist independents and traders looking at expanding their presence in these markets.
