$9.6 Billion of Southeast Asia upstream assets put up for sale through 2027
Rystad Energy research points to a shift in deal focus from non core exits by international oil companies to strategic acquisitions.
Southeast Asia upstream oil deal activity is set to include $9.6 billion in assets available for sale through 2027, with the market moving from a focus on which international oil companies are exiting to who is stepping in to buy, according to research from Rystad Energy cited by OilPrice.
OilPrice says the competitive upstream M&A cycle ahead reflects a regional shift in deal dynamics, as transactions move from non core exits toward strategic entry.
The coverage frames the amount as covering the remainder of this year through 2027, tied to Rystad Energy's outlook for the area’s upstream asset marketplace.
OilPrice reports that the “conversation” around Southeast Asia upstream M&A is increasingly about inbound buyers positioning for ownership of operating assets rather than only outbound divestments.
