For its article “Recent Midstream Deals Buoy PE Hopes for 2024,” Mergers & Acquisitions quoted Akin energy practice co-head Wes Williams. The article discusses what recent notable midstream transactions in 2023 could mean for private equity in 2024.

In this article, Wes agrees that recent midstream transactions are instilling hope in private equity firms to "be able to monetize some of their portfolio companies that are getting a little long in the tooth."

Wes suggests that these transactions signify a shift in the industry, with the past couple of years witnessing an increase in both the number and value of private equity exits in the oil and gas sector. He notes that even upstream deals are indicators of potential additional activity in midstream private equity, indicating that these deals showcase various companies making strategic moves in multiple basins.
