UKCS maximising recovery review: final report
The UK’s oil and gas industry is of national importance and makes a substantial contribution to our economy, energy security and employment. 42 billion barrels of oil and gas have already been produced from the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS), and 12 – 24 billion more could still be produced.
So it is vital that we make the most of the huge opportunity that the UKCS continues to represent.

Thus, this focused in-depth review.
