ENERGY IPOs

摘要

Going public? For management teams in the upstream and midstream sectors of oil and gas, the answer is a table-pounding yes! That is one reason the pace of energy initial public offerings (IPOs) over the past year has exhibited more heat than a major league fastball. There have been 22 IPOs in the energy upstream and midstream sectors (as of press time) in the past 12 months, generating more than $12 billion in public market capital, according to Houston-based PLS Inc. Another dozen IPOs are on deck.
