(Reuters) - Britain's competition regulator said on Tuesday it accepted proposals by Amec Foster Wheeler Plc (>> Amec Foster Wheeler) to sell almost all of its upstream offshore oil and gas servicing assets relating to its deal with John Wood Group (>> John Wood Group).

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has been investigating Wood Group's deal to buy Amec for 2.2 billion pounds as the merger could lead to competition concerns in the supply of engineering and construction services and operation and maintenance services on the UK continental shelf.

Wood Group had proposed to divest a majority of Amec Foster Wheeler's upstream oil and gas assets and operations in the UK when the deal was announced in March.

CMA said it will not refer the deal for an in-depth, phase-2 investigation.
