UK: TotalEnergies Merges Its Upstream Business with NEO NEXT, Creating the Largest Independent Oil and Gas Producer in the UK

  • TotalEnergies will merge its UK Upstream business with NEO NEXT, positioning the new NEO NEXT+ as the largest independent oil and gas producer in the UK.
  • TotalEnergies will have a 47.5% shareholding interest in the broadened NEO NEXT+.
  • The new shareholding structure, asset portfolio and size of NEO NEXT+ will foster synergies and strong cash flow, while contributing to energy supply for the UK.

TotalEnergies has signed an agreement with NEO NEXT Energy Limited (NEO NEXT) under which TotalEnergies will merge its Upstream business with NEO NEXT and become the leading shareholder in the expanded NEO NEXT, which will be renamed NEO NEXT+, with a 47.5% ownership.

After completion of the transaction, NEO NEXT+ will:

  • be jointly owned by TotalEnergies (47.5%), HitecVision (28.875%) and Repsol UK (23.625%) and
  • encompass a large and diverse asset portfolio including notably NEO Energy's and Repsol UK's interests in the Elgin/Franklin complex and the Penguins, Mariner, Shearwater and Culzean fields, enriched by TotalEnergies' UK Upstream assets, notably including its interests in the Elgin/Franklin complex and the Alwyn North, Dunbar and Culzean fields.

With TotalEnergies as its leading shareholder, NEO NEXT+ will become the largest independent oil and gas producer in the UK with a production over 250,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2026, ideally positioned to maximize the value of its portfolio, deliver strong financial returns and ensure a long-term sustainable and resilient future for its oil & gas business.

"This transaction demonstrates the long-lasting commitment of TotalEnergies towards the UK oil and gas sector and its energy security. As the new largest shareholder of NEO NEXT+, we are excited to bring along our recognized track record as a leading operator in the UK North Sea, where we have been present for more than 60 years. TotalEnergies' consistent focus on running low-cost and low-emissions operations will be instrumental in delivering material economies of scale within the new portfolio of NEO NEXT+, that will enhance the cash flow generation of the Company as soon as it is closed," said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies.

Completion of the transaction is subject to customary conditions, including regulatory approvals and is expected during the first half of 2026.
