London Nomura vs Barclays vs CS - O&G/NatRes Teams

Does anyone have insight into the strength/culture of these teams? Specifically in London. I searched through some posts and saw that CS and Barclays are well regarded in Houston, does this carry over to London as well? Particularly interested in dealflow, development of team members and exit ops.Is Nomura growing a lot in this space? I saw they advised on the Repsol/Talisman deal.

Thanks!
