據油價網6月15日消息稱，數據顯示，最近宣布的管道運營商ONEOK和Magellan Midstream Partners的合并是今年迄今為止油氣行業最大的一筆交易，價值188億美元，是4月份最大交易金額的四倍多。

這兩家主要的管道運營商在5月中旬表示，ONEOK將以現金加股票的方式收購Magellan Midstream Partners，交易價值188億美元，合并后的美國油氣管道巨頭企業總價值將達到600億美元。

該交易預計將于2023年第三季度完成，已獲得兩家公司董事會的一致批準。交易的完成取決于慣例成交條件，包括ONEOK股東和Magellan單位持有人的批準以及法案批準。

5月份油氣行業的第二大交易是雪佛龍以63億美元收購頁巖氣公司PDC Energy，交易價格為全股票交易，合每股72美元。包括債務在內，該交易的總企業價值為76億美元，這可能標志著美國頁巖領域的交易加速。

The Biggest Oil And Gas Deal Of The Year So Far

The recently announced merger of pipeline operators onEOK and Magellan Midstream Partners is the biggest deal in the oil and gas sector so far this year, with the $18.8-billion value more than fourfold higher than the biggest deal in April, data has shown.

The two major pipeline operators said in the middle of May that onEOK would buy Magellan Midstream Partners in a cash-and-stock deal valued at $18.8 billion, creating a combined U.S. oil and gas pipeline giant with a total enterprise value of $60 billion.

The transaction, expected to close in the third quarter of 2023, has been unanimously approved by the board of directors of both companies. The closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approvals of both onEOK shareholders and Magellan unitholders, as well as Hart Scott Rodino Act clearance.

The second-largest deal in oil and gas in May was Chevron’s agreement to buy shale firm PDC Energy in an all-stock transaction valued at $6.3 billion, or $72 per share. The total enterprise value of the deal, including debt, is $7.6 billion, and this transaction could mark an acceleration of deal-making in the U.S. shale patch.

The market has been expecting a deal from the supermajors since reports emerged in April of talks about ExxonMobil potentially buying Pioneer Natural Resources.
