Best Natural Resource teams (non O&G)?

Hi all. Interested in learning which banks have the strongest natural resource teams (excluding oil and gas), and what kinds of companies they typically work with. Will be interning at a BB and am interested in lateralling into their NY office for their nat res team, but am also considering re-recruiting at another bank for FT.
By strongest I mean not only deal flow but also exits into nat res related roles (not super concerned with traditional PE roles)

*Not interested in geographies outside US*

Nat res = O&G... what else would it cover?

Metals and mining + P&U are what I think you're getting at, but they are under their own verticals and not considered natural resources. I guess you could consider renewables too, but that is a fledgling group usually run out of a larger O&G platform

If you're interning at a BB in Houston (guessing that's where you are), you're going to have a hard time re-recruiting in NY at another bank for FT, and even switching to NY for FT is tricky/burns bridges/depends on extra spots being open which isn't likely this year. The most common path is to lateral internally to P&U at 1 year into your job.

 

Yeah that’s what I meant, just any natural resource teams that aren’t O&G. Like you mentioned power and utilities is fine with me.
