April turned out to be a busy month for the global upstream industry, especially for A&D activities.

Stratas Advisors tracked five new oil and gas discoveries, 10 development projects status updates, and 13 major companies E&P assets acquisition and divestiture activities. Notably, total deals of A&D activities this month could amount up to $19 billion in a combined value, which is high compared with the transaction records in previous months.

Five new oil and gas discoveries were made in the following major countries: Yellowtail-1 in Guyana, Dharian-1 ST-3 in Pakistan, Blacktip in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, Karish North discovery in Israel and Corvus in Australia. Total new discovered gas resources could potentially reach around 5 Tcf.
