LONDON (Reuters) - U.S. energy group ConocoPhillips has sold its assets in the British North Sea to private equity-backed Chrysaor for $2.675 billion (£2.060 billion), Conoco said on Thursday.

The deal to sell the assets, which produced 72,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day last year, will be backdated to January 2018, Conoco said.
