Exxon Mobil has agreed to acquire American competitor Pioneer Natural Resources for a full stock transaction of $59.5 billion, making it the largest producer in the Permian Basin.

But analysts at East Daley Analytics point out that the recent integration trend is "slowing down drilling activity in the Permian Basin" so far.
