Report summary

Deal flow cratered in H1 2020. The impact of coronavirus and the oil price collapse saw upstream M&A fall to its lowest level in two decades. The statistics are startling. The fewest number of deals in a half year period. The fewest number of deals in a quarter. The fewest number of deals in a month. The lowest aggregate deal value in a half year period. The first time we have never seen a single billion-dollar-plus deal in a half year period.
