Recent mergers and acquisitions have dramatically changed the competitive landscape for companies in the oil, gas and energy services businesses. One measure of this change is the number of publicly traded oil and gas producers in the US. Prior to 1991 the Oil and Gas Journal listed 400 publicly traded producers. This list shrank in 1991 to 300, and as of 1996, the list is now down to 200 in their annual survey. The purpose of this paper is to: briefly review some of the underlying factors or events that have shaped or driven the rush to consolidate; discuss how these changes have impacted gas processing; finally, make some observations on the types of consolidations and opportunities that could occur in the future.
