A series of billion-dollar mergers and acquisitions in the Canadian oil sector indicates a strong industry with growing confidence in the short- and medium-term outlook for fossil fuels. Companies such as Crescent Point Energy, ConocoPhillips, Suncor Energy, Tourmaline Oil, and Strathcona Resources have recently made significant acquisitions. M&A activity in the Canadian energy sector has reached $12.7 billion since the start of 2023. Despite concerns about the transition to lower-carbon energy sources, the oil and gas sector is performing well, and investors are optimistic about its future. However, the amount of deal-making in the Canadian oilpatch may be limited due to previous consolidation.
