TraderTate + 186 TS July 16, 2018 A new report from Austin-based Drillinginfo analytics is forecasting a surge in M&A activity for oil and gas for the rest of this year ($50 billion). The argument is that the rush on land in the Permian Basin has ended and now it's time for new dealmaking and consolidation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanilKa + 443 July 16, 2018 I'd say M&A will be driven by many shale operators unable to refinance money-loosing operations into rising interest rate and falling by a wayside. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scotsman + 14 LB July 17, 2018 I'd be looking at the frac sand plays here. There's also a land rush on this because it makes a lot of sense--much more than transporting all that frac sand from Wisconsin, for instance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
