Report summary
Where are all the deals? The oil price is at a multi-year high. Companies are flush with cash. But deal flow hasn't been this threadbare since 2015 – a year in which the oil price closed in on US$30/bbl. Though higher oil prices tend to lead to more upstream M&A, the speed and nature of this year’s price rise has caused uncertainty. Most companies are still operating under a “lower for longer" mantra. Despite the discipline shown in H1, we expect to see more M&A activity in the second half of the year. In this M&A market review and outlook: We analyse global and regional trends in upstream M&A during H1 2018. We look at deal flow, deal spend, peer groups, resource themes and valuations. We highlight what to look out for in the second half of the year.
