The Always-On Backchannel for A&D Professionals
DealSquawk is the private backchannel for oil & gas dealmakers to trade real intel, ask sharp questions, and track what’s actually happening—without putting their name on every word.
Built for verified dealmakers, DealSquawk lets users post as their full identity, their role and company, or anonymously—never all at once. That structure gives conversations just enough context to be useful, without exposing anyone or watering down the signal.
This is where landmen, BD teams, investors, and aggregators go when they’re tired of outdated intel, surface-level chatter, and the pressure to posture on LinkedIn.
No sales pitches. No vendors. No noise. Just serious A&D pros talking shop.
What Counts as Verified?
This isn’t an open group. It’s intentionally built for people who are actively doing deals in oil & gas—landmen, engineers, geos, BD folks, mineral & non-op investors, PE acquirers, trust managers, family offices, etc.
We don’t allow vendors, recruiters, or observers.
To get verified, we look at a few things—work email, LinkedIn, role, or a referral from someone already in the room. If you’re actively participating in the deal ecosystem, you’ll get in fast. If not, you’ll sit this one out.
The goal is to protect the culture and make sure that when you post, reply, or just lurk—you know the other people in here get it.
That’s what makes the signal work. That’s what makes the DealSquawk community different.

Every member is vetted. No vendors. No recruiters. Just real A&D professionals you’d actually want to talk to.
Anonymous when it counts
Post with your name, your company—or completely anonymously. Say what you need without second-guessing.
Real-time conversations
Like a conference or happy hour, but always on. Stay in the loop between conferences, site visits, or backroom meetings.
Off-the-record intel
Get unfiltered updates on deal flow, pricing whispers, and who’s buying what—straight from the people in the game.
Purpose-built for A&D
Threads on operators, basins, divestitures, and minerals. If it’s being bought or sold, it’s being talked about here.
“It feels like NAPE, all the time—but without the noise. It’s tight-knit, verified, and you don’t have to wade through vendors or fluff. The semi-anonymous vibe makes it way easier to share what’s actually happening.”
