End of an era looms as Chevron seeks UK exit

Clair is the big attraction for would-be buyers

1 minute read

Following a subdued start to 2024, the North Sea M&A market has burst into life. Private-equity owner HitecVision is considering a sale of UK focussed NEO Energy. Ithaca and Eni have annouced a US$1 billion combination of their UK upstream business. Now Chevron is reportedly selling its remaining UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) assets, including its 19.42% non-operated stake in the giant Clair field West of Shetland. This would close its UK North Sea business after 55 years in the country.
