Canada's oilpatch races toward its biggest merger year since 2017

High oil prices are driving Canada's biggest buyout spree in a decade. Deals top $30 billion so far in 2026, led by Shell's (SHEL) $16.4 billion takeover of ARC Resources. Companies are merging from strength now, not survival, tightening control among giants like Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ), Cenovus (CVE) and ConocoPhillips (COP).
