Oil and Gas M&A Momentum Continues to Build

Speciale Analysis

Hey Trader,


Oil and Gas M&A Momentum Continues to Build


The energy sector is buzzing with major deals, mergers, and acquisitions, signaling robust activity and promising opportunities for savvy traders.


Recent developments suggest a strategic pivot towards energy stocks could be both timely and profitable, especially as global geopolitical events unfold.


Major Acquisitions and Their Implications


Matador Resources Company recently made headlines with its acquisition of Permian Basin oil and gas properties from Ameredev II Parent, LLC for $1.9 billion. This deal includes a 19% stake in Piñon Midstream, significantly enhancing Matador's portfolio in Lea County, New Mexico, and Loving and Winkler Counties, Texas. This acquisition boosts Matador's Delaware Basin acreage to over 190,000 net acres, with production surpassing 180,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed) and proved reserves exceeding 580 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe). This strategic move positions Matador for substantial growth, with a market valuation projected to exceed $10 billion.


Noble Corp. is set to acquire Diamond Offshore Drilling in a $1.6 billion cash-and-stock deal. This acquisition, adding 12 offshore floaters to Noble's fleet and expanding its total rig count to 41, is expected to bolster Noble’s revenue and cash flow amidst a favorable offshore drilling market. The deal promises pre-tax cost synergies of $100 million, with significant benefits anticipated within a year of closing in early 2025.


TotalEnergies has inked a 15-year agreement with Air Products to supply 70,000 tons of green hydrogen annually to its Northern European refineries starting in 2030. This deal is a significant step towards decarbonizing TotalEnergies' refineries and aligns with their strategy to cut net greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030. Additionally, TotalEnergies will provide Air Products with 150 MW of solar power from a Texas project, with further renewable energy collaborations planned in the UK, Poland, and France.


NextDecade has signed a non-binding agreement with Saudi Aramco to supply 1.2 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of LNG for 20 years from its Rio Grande LNG Facility in Texas. This deal aligns with Aramco's strategy to expand its LNG market presence, coinciding with anticipated global LNG growth of 50% by 2030. This agreement is part of NextDecade's broader efforts to enhance its LNG export capabilities.

Strategic Discoveries and Developments


China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) has discovered a major hydrocarbon deposit in the ultra-shallow gas play of the ultra-deep waters in the South China Sea. The Lingshui 36-1 gas field, located at an average water depth of 1,500 meters, has shown a production capacity of over 10 million cubic meters per day. This discovery is pivotal for boosting natural gas reserves and production, positioning CNOOC to enhance its energy supply capabilities.


Woodside has commenced oil extraction from the offshore Sangomar field in Senegal, a development poised to significantly boost Senegal's economy. Located 100 kilometers south of Dakar, the field operates at a depth of 780 meters with a storage capacity of 1.3 million barrels, and production is expected to reach 100,000-125,000 barrels per day (bpd).


Sintana Energy has acquired a 49% stake in Giraffe Energy Investments, granting access to blocks 2815 and 2915 in Namibia’s Orange Basin. This region is seeing increased activity from major players like BW Energy, Rhino Resources, and Shell. This strategic entry bolsters Sintana’s presence in one of the world's emerging oil and gas frontiers.


Pakistan and China have agreed to develop offshore oil and gas blocks and enhance Pakistan's mining industry. This collaboration follows Pakistan's recent gas and condensate discoveries in Sindh province and reflects China's continued influence and investment in Pakistan’s energy sector.


Iran's National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) announced plans to develop the Changuleh oil field, which holds an estimated 3.2 billion barrels of oil. This development is part of Iran's broader strategy to boost oil production and leverage its substantial reserves.

U.S. Government Required Disclaimer Stock, Futures, Forex & Options trading has large potential rewards, but also large potential risk and it is not appropriate for everyone. You must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order to speculate in the Stocks, Futures, Forex, and Options markets. Don’t trade with money you can’t afford to lose. This is neither a solicitation nor an offer to Buy/Sell any securities. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown on this website. The past performance of any trading system or methodology is not necessarily indicative of future results.

 

CFTC RULE 4.41 Hypothetical or simulated performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

IMPORTANT NOTICE! No representation is being made that the use of this strategy or any system or trading methodology will generate profits. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. There is substantial risk of loss associated with trading securities and options on equities. Only risk capital should be used to trade. Trading securities is not suitable for everyone. Disclaimer: Futures, Options, and Currency trading all have large potential rewards, but they also have large potential risk. You must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order to invest in these markets. Don’t trade with money you can’t afford to lose.

Cryptocurrency Trading Cryptocurrencies on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for everyone. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before getting involved in Cryptocurrency trading you should carefully consider your personal venture objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial deposit and therefore you should not place funds that you cannot afford to lose.

You should fully understand the risks associated with trading futures, options, ETF’s and retail off-exchange foreign currency transactions (“Forex”) before making any trades.

Hypothetical Results Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations - unless noted otherwise that an image or any material discloses live money was used, results displayed or openly discussed are to be assumed simulated for educational purposes only. No live money brokerage accounts will be traded or displayed by request or otherwise.  Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs, in general, are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.

THERE IS RISK OF LOSS IN ALL TRADING. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. ALL RESULTS ARE HYPOTHETICAL.
