The L48 shale gas consolidation trend continues with Southwestern Energy acquiring Indigo Natural Resources for US$2.7 billion. Similar to the Cabot Cimarex deal, this transaction bucks the trend of in-basin consolidation. Southwestern Energy, an Appalachian-focused operator, will be gaining premium realised pricing through Indigo's Haynesville asset. We see Southwestern's entry into the Haynesville as a hedge strategy towards northeast local prices, as northeast operators have limited upside due to midstream regulatory risk. While Appalachian peer EQT has aggressively acquired in-basin operators, Southwestern follows Cabot in expanding frontiers into entirely separate basins.
