Royal Dutch Shell has agreed to sell £2.46 billion pounds worth of North Sea assets to oil exploration firm Chrysaor as part of continuing debt reduction measures.
Shell wants to sell $30bn of assets by 2018 as it seeks to pay off debt following its takeover of BG Group.
The deal represents about half of their 2016 North Sea output.
