OGA Launches Survey of UK Oil and Gas Operators and Licensees (link)
The Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) has launched its 2017 Stewardship Survey for UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) operators of petroleum licences and of upstream petroleum infrastructure.
The annual survey gathers data on activity and performance. Areas covered include exploration, production, projects, operating, and decommissioning costs & technology.
Data gathered from the survey is used, among other things, to inform the OGA’s asset stewardship reviews with operators and provide meaningful insights into current and forecast activity in the UKCS. It is also used for economic modelling of fields and hubs, and help build regional strategies and area plans.
The OGA also publishes reports derived from these data in the form of lessons learned and benchmarking reports to provide valuable insights for industry.
The main survey opens on 1 November 2017 and will close on 28 February 2018. The activity section of the survey will start on 1 November 2017 and will close on 19 January 2018.
