Barclays Corporate oil and gas team announced today it had provided funding for global energy deals amounting to £782million so far this year.
The facilities have been provided for organisations operating in the UK and internationally.
The figure has already exceeded the team’s £621million total of new deals in 2010.
One deal, an amendment of an existing revolving credit facility with Wood Group, completed earlier this year saw the bank participate in a £496million facility, holding £78million.
Walter Cumming, head of oil and gas team at Barclays Corporate, said: “These deals highlight our ever-increasing global portfolio and, in many ways, shows both the UK and Aberdeen in particular remain right at the heart of this international industry.
“Demonstrating this, the oil and gas team itself has grown fivefold over the last four years and now has 25 members.
“The UK continental shelf, despite the tax changes and in spite of its status as a mature province, still presents substantial and exciting opportunities for organisations looking to invest. In fact, things have changed beyond all recognition since 2009 in terms of confidence and activity levels.”
