Report summary
November deal count was low, but some standout deals ensured that spending levels were high. Encana's US$8.2 billion takeout of Newfield saw the recent spate of corporate mergers continue; although this one signalled a change of tack: diversification (not play-level consolidation) was the driver. Cimarex followed the more conventional route in building scale when acquiring fellow Permian pure-play Resolute Energy for US$1.8 billion. QEP exited both the Bakken and Haynesville to itself transition to a Permian pure-play.
