It’s been called a once-in-a-generation consolidation wave in the U.S. oil patch, hitting $250 billion worth of deals last year. Notable transactions have included Exxon Mobil’s $60 billion purchase of Pioneer and Chevron’s $53 billion acquisition of Hess.
The trend is continuing this year, witnessed by Diamondback Energy’s buy of Endeavor Energy Resources for $26 billion in February and, just last week, ConocoPhillips’ announcement that it wants to buy Marathon Oil for $22.5 billion (see below).
What’s fueling it? A lot of things: use of oil companies’ cash horde brought on by higher oil prices; increased scale and scope and the opportunity to add top-notch drilling locations. A booming stock market doesn’t hurt.
In ConocoPhillips’s case, combining with Marathon will boost its market cap to more than $150 billion, extending its lead as the largest independent producer and placing it broadly at the same scale as majors, above BP and behind Shell, according to Enverus.
The transaction might also lead to other deals. Conoco appears likely to sell off portions of the Marathon portfolio it views as non-core, including its position in the Anadarko Basin – a good fit for now-private company Continental Resources, Enverus director and analyst Andrew Dittmar says.
The deal is likely to receive close scrutiny from the Federal Trade Commission, Dittmar added. The largest area of concentration — and potential FTC concern — will be the Eagle Ford, where Conoco will jump EOG Resources Inc. to become the largest operator.
The holiday-shortened week ending June 1 began with a $22.5 billion bang: that aforementioned ConocoPhillips purchase of Marathon. It ended with an even dozen deals valued at a total $34.5 billion. The week prior, a full business week, saw 13 deals for $9.7 billion. This time last year we counted 12 Texas-related transactions valued at $6.1 billion.
