Energy Insight: Prices: North Sea crude oil prices (DSS14)
Since 2010 the downturn in the economies of various countries, the emergence of the shale industry and the increase in the supply of renewable energy contributed to the drop in price to around $30 for Brent in January 2016.
2021 saw the price of Brent rise to pre Covid levels, but 2022 saw the price rise even more steeply following Russia's invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022. By June 2022 it had reached $123.64. Since then it has dropped, and by March 2023 had fallen to $78.29 bbl, but that is still still higher than any monthly average in 2020.
