The company’s latest report: ‘Quarterly Midstream M& Deals Review – Q4 2018’ states that there were 24 midstream M&A deals (with values greater than US$100 million), together accounting for US$38.1 billion, compared with 28 deals worth US$93.3 billion in Q3 2018, representing a decrease of 14 percent in the number of deals.
