Oilfield Service Sector Consolidation: The oilfield service sector is expected to see increased consolidation in 2025, driven by a potential loosening of regulations under President-elect Donald Trump and a wave of mergers among oil producers, which may lead smaller companies to seek favorable buyouts.
Market Dynamics and M&A Activity: The U.S. shale patch has experienced a reduction in customer bases due to significant mergers, with the oilfield services sector witnessing $19.7 billion in deals in 2024, the highest since 2018, indicating strong buyer interest and a fragmented market ripe for further consolidation.
