Hi there,
Just have a quick question. Which banks have the best oil and gas m&a teams in London? Are there boutiques which are especially good at oil and gas?
If no one bank really stands out, are there any which stand out in commodities m&a?
Also, which region (outside North America) is most focused on o&g? Is London the best just because of the size or are there areas of the middle east or africa which are competitive in o&g?
Any info on this is greatly appreciated
Thanks!

Have heard both DB and CS are very strong in the space.
Australia is solid as well, especially with BHP's big pickup of Petrohawk last summer. Can't comment on strength of Euro oil and gas however.
