    ‘It’s kind of like Pac-Man right now: consolidate or get eaten’: Big oil’s $250 billion year of shale mergers rewrites the playbook

    By Kevin Crowley, David Wethe, and others
  • Autry Stephens, chief executive officer of Endeavor Energy Resources LP, stands for a photograph at the company’s Big Dog Drilling Rig 22 in the Permian basin outside of Midland, Texas, U.S., on Friday, Dec. 12, 2014. Of all the booming U.S. oil regions set soaring by a drilling renaissance in shale rock, the Permian and Bakken basins are among the most vulnerable to oil prices that settled at $57.81 a barrel Dec. 12. With enough crude by some counts to exceed the reserves of Saudi Arabia, theyre also the most critical to the future of the U.S. shale boom.
