Upstream consolidation accelerated in 2023 and continued into 2024 as the majors and
large independents looked to build scale and enhance their asset bases. In an attempt
to gain relevance with investors, Mid and Small-Cap independents were also active
buying assets to build scale and transform their stories to the market. The Permian
Basin received most of the attention, but there have been more transactions in other
basins too. Intrepid believes that consolidation will continue based on the benefits of
scale - including improved profitability with economies of scale, longer duration drilling
inventory, and a lower cost of capital - and smaller upstream companies look to
compete with the larger ones and gain relevance with public investors. Meanwhile,
relatively new private investors that believe in a longer-term traditional energy future are
looking to be opportunistic to fill the capital void left by less energy private equity dollars
interested in traditional upstream investment.
