A handful of West of Shetland assets have been highlighted by industry experts as potential acquisition targets for Viaro Energy.
Dave Moseley, vice president of North Sea research at Welligence, says TotalEnergies’ (LON: TTE) Laggan-Tormore fields would appear the “most obvious candidates”.
But there are also “some synergies” with BP’s (LON: BP) Clair and Clair Ridge assets, with Chevron’s (NYSE: CVX) 19.42% stake in the region now the supermajor’s solitary interest in the North Sea.
London-headquartered independent Viaro has been on something of a shopping spree in recent years, after making its North Sea entrance in 2020.
