Sektor wydobywczy ropy naftowej i gazu

The Oil & Gas industry is fundamental to the world’s economy. Increasing demand, fluctuating prices and environmental concerns have created an unprecedented atmosphere of challenge and change for many of this market sector’s participants.
In order to adjust to these new challenges, corporate combinations, including mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic alliances are growing in number and size. In particular, massive offshore drilling and a booming LNG subsector represent a platform for new business combinations. In both industries, consolidation activity has increased manifold in the past.

Joint ventures to develop new equipment, streamline operations and access new fields are less binding than mergers and have become increasingly popular, too.

Since oil and gas are commodities, the company that claims the greatest resources and the lowest costs for itself will yield an advantage. Thus, numerous business combinations focus on increasing size (the era of “mega-mergers” in the oil industry is unforgettable), while others diversify their portfolios in niche markets.

Companies in this industry are tangible asset heavy. With our well equipped fixed asset valuation staff, American Appraisal is the ideal valuation resource when considering new alternatives and contemplating uncertainties, specifically regarding mergers, acquisitions or divestitures.
