BP to invest in ETAP

BP is to invest some £670mn in the Eastern Trough Area Project (ETAP), looking to secure the future of the central North Sea fields until 2030 and beyond. The group reports that the investment is linked to the UK government’s recently introduced tax breaks, including a 10% cut in supplementary tax and a 15% cut in petroleum revenue taxes. The news comes at a time when many other North Sea operators have embarked on cost-cutting exercises in the face of continued low oil prices.
