For upstream M&A, 2017 started as 2016 had ended – with a blaze of activity. Permania was in full flow; the Canadians consolidated, and private equity led a revolution in Europe.

In this Insight, we provide an in-depth analysis of the global upstream M&A market in 2017, looking at buyers, sellers, regional activity, valuations and more.
