For a quite a long time now, the North Sea has been synonymous with European offshore oil production. Unfortunately, the field isn't quite what it once was. For investors looking to buy into the next big field in Europe, we recommend starting your research with companies like ExxonMobil (XOM 0.02%), Noble Energy (NBL) and Statoil (EQNR -0.07%). ExxonMobil provides exposure to multiple fields, while Noble Energy might offer the most upside with its involvement in the Mediterranean's Leviathan Field.
