Don’t agree with this comment based on my experience.

Besides, North Sea is the most active area today in terms of deal flow outside of the US, where processes are largely ran by US offices. So the top bankers in London will be ones that have significant North Sea exposure.

The opportunity cost associated with BBs basing their lending criteria around Net Zero ideology has clearly reached a tipping point. Zero tangible financial benefit in wearing the shackles of the NZBA, simply brownie points.

Likewise for actual O&G producers we are seeing a re-calibration of strategy, with many hitting the brakes (or at least taking the foot off the accelerator) in terms of low-carbon exposure. As BPs relative share price performance has shown, an accelerated pivot into renewables, which continue to produce relatively poor returns compared to O&G, is not viewed favourably by the market.

Entire energy industry is experiencing a reality-check.    

 

James Sleeman is leading the BofA O&G and Maria Garijo Del Cura runs Renewables 

Strong deal flow at BofA NET team (Natural Resources & Energy Transition), modelling heavy team (M&A never touches their model), does the majority of M&A execution on its own as M&A team only gets involved if its a sell-side strictly for process work. 

The team also has very strong exits but hours are the longest at BofA alongside FIG.

 

JPM, Citi are strongest here. Barclays pretty strong too.

Naturally, BBs will overperform relative to other sectors in Power/Energy/O&G etc due to the ability to leverage their balance sheets to win mandates.

 

BofA has a centralised staffing system; it's the same for 6 teams - recently got a new staffer for those 6 teams, as it changes every 1 year. Not sure why it's relevant for u to know who the staffer is?
