In 2025, mergers and acquisitions in the U.S. oil sector have significantly slowed, shifting focus from volume to value as companies adapt to lower oil prices and uncertainties in trade. Oil firms have spent just $17 billion in the last three months, contrasting sharply with the $144 billion in deals in Q3 2023. Major players are cautious, emphasizing that future acquisitions need to offer substantial value rather than merely increasing size, while many premium assets have already been acquired, leaving less desirable options for buyers.
