A unique pilot project is set to demonstrate how green hydrogen could be produced within a genuinely integrated offshore system – and in the process accelerate the energy transition.   

The UK’s upstream oil and gas industry was one of the first major sectors of the economy to embrace the 2050 target when in September 2019, on behalf of the industry, OGUK released ‘Roadmap 2035: A Blueprint for Net Zero’, highlighting the role the sector can play to help the UK achieve the energy transition that is critical to a fully decarbonised economy.

Much has happened since then and it is testament to the sector’s commitment to delivering the energy transition that the work to decarbonise our sector has continued at pace while coping with the COVID-19 pandemic. Roadmap 2035 offers a route to help the UK achieve a green recovery as the economy returns to growth. Our industry is committed to reducing its own emissions and by working with others, with the right frameworks in place, can help the UK decarbonise at pace.

Historic seismic data which provide images below the seabed are to be made available by the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) following a consultation into the reporting and disclosure of such data.

Explorers, organisations researching potential carbon capture and storage (CCS) sites, and academics will be among those who will benefit from the greater availability of the data, spanning a time period from the 1960s to around 10 years ago.

Following consultation, the OGA has concluded that seismic data acquired under an exploration licence and which are more than 10 or 15 years old, depending on the type of data, can be made available through application to the OGA, who may publish the data via the National Data Repository (NDR).

In support of this, the OGA is publishing guidance which outlines the conditions under which geophysical survey data created or acquired under an exploration licence pre-2018 may be published. The publication of more recent, and...
