M&A in Southeast Asia - 2024 Q3

(Originally published on October 1, 2024)

Q3 has been has been very quiet, with no real M&A involving discovered resource but there were two deals of note, one involving a significant change in operatorship and the other involving exploration acreage, both being in Malaysia. I don't believe there was a payment involved for either of these deals.

The running totals for 2024 (Q3) are eight deals, with a total deal value of US $1,870 million. As a comparison, by the end of Q3 in 2023, we had seen 15 deals with a total value of about US $820 million.
