???? 據(jù)油價(jià)網(wǎng)3月24日消息稱(chēng)，周二公布的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，加拿大能源行業(yè)今年迄今為止的并購(gòu)金額達(dá)到創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的180億美元，而分析師預(yù)測(cè)，2021年將是加拿大油氣行業(yè)并購(gòu)的豐收年。

????路透社援引Dealogic的數(shù)據(jù)稱(chēng)，2021年初至3月18日，加拿大的能源交易總額為180億美元，是逾25年來(lái)最高的能源交易總額。此外，路透援引Dealogic的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，1月1日至3月18日，加拿大能源交易占全球并購(gòu)交易的16.2%，為2002年以來(lái)最高比例。

????去年油價(jià)暴跌后，加拿大石油行業(yè)發(fā)生了多起并購(gòu)交易，其中包括兩家最大的公司——Cenovus能源公司和赫斯基能源公司之間的一樁轟動(dòng)全球的全股票交易。去年，在油價(jià)暴跌的背景下，人們期待已久的加拿大油氣行業(yè)整合成為推動(dòng)并購(gòu)的主要力量。

????Canada’s Oil & Gas Mergers Hit Record $18 Billion So Far This Year

????Canada’s energy industry saw a record US$18 billion worth of mergers and acquisitions year to date, data showed on Tuesday, while analysts predict 2021 will be a bumper year for M&A in the Canadian oil and gas industry.

????According to data from Dealogic, cited by Reuters, energy deals in Canada between the start of 2021 and March 18 totaled US$18 billion, the highest combined value of energy deals in more than 25 years. Moreover, Canadian energy deals accounted for 16.2 percent of the global M&As between January 1 and March 18, the highest share since 2002, Dealogic data quoted by Reuters showed.

????Canada’s oil patch saw last year a number of M&A deals in the wake of the oil price crash, including a blockbuster all-stock deal between two of the biggest companies, Cenovus Energy and Husky Energy. Last year, the driving force of the mergers and acquisitions was the long-awaited consolidation in Canada’s oil and gas industry in light of the collapse in oil prices.

????“There will continue to be some consolidation here over the next year,” Tim McKay, President at Canadian Natural Resources, said on the earnings call in November 2020, adding that “we probably are in a time of consolidation.”

????Thanks to the Cenovus Energy-Husky Energy deal, all M&A transactions in Canada in the fourth quarter of 2020 were worth US$10.01 billion, soaring by 468.3 percent from the previous quarter and surging by 504.2 percent compared to the last four-quarter average of US$1.66 billion, according to data from GlobalData.

????This year, the leading factor would be the higher oil prices which have made funding markets open to deals as oil prices rallied some 20 percent this year, analysts say.
