Economic aspects of cost savings in the UKCS

A. G. Kemp, Bruce MacDonald

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingPublished conference contribution

Abstract

Declining production in mature fields, relatively small new field developments, the fall in oil prices, and the high tax takes in "old" fields have combined to squeeze profit margins on petroleum exploration in the UKCS. Achieved reductions in development and operating costs can help to sustain activity levels over the next two decades. Contractors as well as oil companies and the Government will benefit from the substantial number of induced extra field developments achieved from cost savings of 20%.
