Consolidation Trends Persist in U.S. Energy Sector in 2024
(Reuters) — The consolidation wave in the U.S. energy sector that triggered $250 billion worth of deals in 2023 has stretched into this year, as companies look for opportunities to deploy their cash hoard and boost their reserves.
The majority of energy executives polled in December by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas expected more oil deals worth $50 billion or higher to pop up in the next two years.
In 2023, some 39 private companies were acquired by public companies, Enverus data showed.
