Welligence APAC Q1 2026 M&A Quarterly | Australian gas and LNG in focus

April 30, 2026

Asia Pacific saw five M&A transactions announced in Q1 2026, with Australian gas and LNG taking centre stage. After a record Q4 2025, the quarter was quieter on volume but had strong signals: capital concentrated around a single onshore basin, LNG equity continued to change hands, and a contested takeover put corporate M&A back on the agenda.
