Global Upstream M&A Review and Outlook Webinar Series

External forces create pressure for companies to decide whether to be reactive or proactive in their M&A strategies as they navigate the energy transition. Investor-driven shifts in business models, geopolitical storms, pandemic fallout, digitalization, and a lower carbon future are causing upstream M&A players to make critical upstream acquisition and divestiture decisions.

What strategies will GIOCs, NOCs, independent E&Ps, private equity players, and new entrants undertake to transform the upstream M&A landscape?

In these three regional webinars, our experts provide a 360-degree global outlook for upstream M&A as the industry undertakes vital decisions in the immediate future.
