Dave_aber, "Total are trying to reduce their assets in the North Sea, so they are unlikely to step in on this..."
In Feb this year, TotalEnergies stated, "...will continue to move away from the UK North Sea as it looks to curtail exploration in the basin..."
Stas20, "however I fail to believe that the discussions between SQZ and BP. went on in isolation of total..." AGREE
Could we be looking at acquiring Total's share too in the near future, esp as Serica will now activity look at refinancing and increasing debt facility, now that would be some plan if executed.
" The Company is however also considering putting in place a new acquisition facility, which would be refinanced in due course via increased debt facilities.."
So pro-rata to gain control of Total's share on this deal basis would only cost circa $362m (£271m)
