据油气杂志网2019年10月24日报道,普华永道(PwC)的分析报告显示,在第二季度出现巨额飙升后,美国的油气交易活动在第三季度恢复了下降趋势。
分析报告显示,美国第三季度油气活动总交易数环比下降了18%,同比下降了20%。总交易值降到了375亿美元,环比下降了68%,同比下降了70%。PwC表示,导致美国第三季度油气交易活动下降的主要原因是油价下跌使得投资者对原油价格前景日益悲观以及可获得的资金来源有限。
尽管美国今年第三季度和第二季度各有3笔巨额交易(+ 50亿美元),但第三季度的巨额交易值只有158亿美元,而第二季度的巨额交易值达到了892亿美元。
Hilcorp 能源公司以56亿美元价格收购BP阿拉斯加资产是第三季度最大的一笔交易,紧随其后的是Energy Transfer以51亿美元价格收购SemGroup公司和黑石公司以51亿美元价格收购Tallgrass能源公司。

PwC: US oil and gas deals trended down in 3Q 2019
After the second-quarter megadeal spike, oil and gas deal activity resumed its downward trend in the third quarter, according to analysis by PwC .
Total deal volume declined sequentially quarter-by-quarter by 18% and year-over-year by 20%. Total deal value declined to $37.5 billion, down 68% sequentially and 70% year-over-year. The decline reflects growing pessimism about crude oil price outlook and limited access to capital, according to PwC.
While the 2019 third quarter and second quarter each had three mega deals (+ 5 billion), the third quarter mega deal value was an anemic $15.8 billion, versus the second quarter deal value of $89.2 billion.
Hilcorp Energy’s acquisition of BP’s Alaska assets for $5.6 billion was the largest mega deal in quarter, followed by Energy Transfer’s acquisition of SemGroup and Blackstone’s acquisition of Tallgrass Energy LP, each for about $5.1 billion.
