The Coming Wave of Consolidation in the North American Oil and Gas Producing Sector

Speaker:

Robert Gillon, IHS Herold

Sponsored by the CFA Society of Philadelphia

Program:

With more than 100 publicly-traded participants, the oil and gas sector appears to be a target-rich environment, but the deal market has been comatose for ten months. When might this change? Robert Gillon of IHS Herold will discuss how investment cycles and strategic considerations are now coalescing to make corporate consolidations more likely in this sector. Mr. Gillon will offer his thoughts on the potential buyers as well as the attributes of desirable merger targets. Mr. Gillon has divided his career between financial analysis and petroleum exploration and is a vice president and Insight Leader at IHS Herold and editor of the "Herold Energy Investment Outlook."
