TotalEnergies SE is looking to sell its remaining stake in UK North Sea gas fields within the Greater Laggan Area, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

The move follows TotalEnergies’ saleBloomberg Terminal of a 20% share in the Greater Laggan Area to Kistos Plc last year for $125 million and contingent payments of as much as $40 million. Viaro Energy Ltd. and Ineos AG each hold a 20% stake each in the fields.
