In a move poised to restructure the UK’s oil production landscape, Slaughter and May is advising Repsol E&P on merging its UK operations with NEO Energy. On the opposite side of the deal, CMS is providing counsel to NEO. This merger is valued at several billion pounds, aiming to create the second-largest oil producer on the UK Continental Shelf with an output of approximately 130,000 barrels per day. By doing so, it will stand just behind the recent Shell-Equinor merger, which produces around 140,000 barrels daily.
