Factbox: US energy sector deals accelerate in quest for reserves

(Adds Tallgrass and SM Energy deals)
       June 27 (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
oil and gas reserves.
    The total value of deals in January and February hit the highest level since
the first quarter of 2017 when $68 billion worth of deals were announced, and is
also more than double that announced in the first quarter of 2023. Deals
involving U.S. shale firms represented more than 80% of the total value,
analytics firm Enverus has said.
    In 2023, some 39 private companies were acquired by public companies.
    
    Below is a list of major deals in the U.S. oil and gas sector so far this
year:
