The regulator said the transaction showed the North Sea was open for business.
The deal involves the sale of Shell’s interests in nine fields and a 10% stake in Schiehallion.
Chrysaor’s chief executive is Phil Kirk, who is currently co-chair of the OGA’s UK exploration board.
A spokesperson for the OGA said: “We welcome this significant vote of confidence in the UKCS and the substantial investment it promises.
“It is a further demonstration that the North Sea is open for business.
“We look forward to considering the details of the proposed transaction.”
