β¦ Synopsis
ecent activity in oil and gas mergers R showed a decrease in the fourth quarter of 1995, but no cause for alarm. Analysis of 1995 yearly activity shows changes in buying by industry segments.
Fourth-Quarter Decrease
The fourth quarter of 1995 saw puzzling developments in both pricing and acquisitionand-divestiture activity. The widely reported breakdown in relationships between NYMEX gas prices and spot prices at any delivery point other than Henry Hub brought new meaning to the term "risk management" for many producers. Despite the steady rise in oil prices and the dramatic increase in gas prices during the fourth quarter, the Randall & Dewey ten-company price poll group lowered its forecasts for both oil and gas prices. In the acquisition-and-divestiture arena, the total value of deals announced plummeted from the third quarter's torrid pace of $2.2 billion to a less-than-respectable $0.9 billion. This is the lowest quarterly level we have recorded since the first quarter of 1993.
