Description
Mr. Marko will discuss how technology improvements have resulted in an abundance of huge new natural gas shale resources that also offer very compelling finding and development costs, thus attracting worldwide attention.
This is causing the early natural gas shale landholders, many of whom are relatively small companies, to seek deep pocketed partners, thus resulting in natural gas shale deals being the dominant theme in the Merger, Acquisition, and Divestiture (MA&D) market in the United States.
During this same time, the severe drop in commodity prices in July 2008, combined with plummeting financial markets in September 2008, caused the conventional MA&D to almost cease to function.
A healthy and viable conventional MA&D market is only now returning and companies are choosing whether they will focus on natural gas from shales or focus on conventional natural gas assets.
He will discuss the current state of the market and future expectations.
