April 2(Reuters) - The $250-billion consolidation wave that swept through the US energy sector in 2023 has continued into 2024, with experts anticipating further transactions as energy firms aim to improve inventory longevity while minimising costs.
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.
