January Highlights:

The largest oil and gas deal to take place during the 30-day period between November 16 and December 15 was the acquisition of Samson Investment Co., one of the largest private exploration and production companies in the US, for $7.2 billion. An investor group led by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. LP (KKR), Natural Gas Partners (NGP), Crestview Partners and Itochu Corp. signed the deal in late November.

The second-largest deal involving US-based assets was announced November 30. Korean companies Samsung C&T and KNOC invested heavily in North America with the joint acquisition of Parallel Petroleum Corp. from Apollo Global Management. "Although the financial terms of the deal were not disclosed by either party, it has been reported by the press that the value may be as much as $780 million," noted Evaluate Energy analyst Eoin Coyne in his weekly update for OGFJ following the transaction.
