Working with industry and government to revitalise exploration is a priority for the NSTA.
Successful discoveries ultimately lead to the new field developments and additional production needed to support the UK’s energy demands as we transition to net zero by 2050.
More than 45.9 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) have been produced from the UKCS and significant reserves and resources are estimated to remain.
