1) Executive Summary
Oil production on the UK Continental Shelf declined marginally in the latest year. Gas output was slightly up compared with 2013.
Oil production excluding NGLs totalled 37.4 Million Tonnes in 2014, down from 37.9
in 2013, the slowest rate of decline in many years.
Gas production rose from 43,243 MMCuM in 2013 to 43,322 MMCuM in 2014
Nexen tops the list of Oil producers in 2014 with output of 4.35 million Tonnes.
Centrica heads up the gas list with 6.859Bn Cubic Metres produced in 2014 including production from the Rough storage facility.

The following new fields were brought on stream in 2014: o GOLDEN EAGLE (Nexen) o KINNOULL (BP) o JULIET (GDF Suez) o KEW (Centrica)

A large number of new oilfields are under development and a number of other fields
have temporarily shut down to enhance or renew their production facilities and will return to production soon. Oil production was 37.4 Million Tonnes in 2014. The additions under way target additional production of 39.2 Million Tonnes per annum. It is clear that, even allowing for natural and normal reductions in flow rates as existing fields mature & decline, output will rise substantially (over 50%) by 2018. This is hidden from the public as both DECC and the OBR are forecasting a decrease in output over the period. This isn’t credible. Output is rising in 2015 but DECC & the OBR say it is falling!
The above chart shows oil output from the UKCS in every year from 1975 onwards. It shows the effect of current investment on future production by graphing the projected output from fields which are in the process of coming online. Even allowing for natural rates of decline, the increase between 2013 and 2018 will be over 50 percent.
Wood Mackenzie has produced a very similar projection. DECC has produced one which shows a decrease in output over the same period. This seems impossibly negative. The impossibly negative DECC projection is the one the OBR use when attacking Scottish Government projections. The OBR analysis is partial, it doesn’t reflect reality – its wrong.

The Cheviot Field developer ATP Oil & Gas (UK) Limited was acquired by Petroleum Equity from
its US parent when this was forced into Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. Moss Maritime's Octobuoy concept
was dropped when late and over budget, a second plan to replace this concept with an FPSO shows no
sign of progression. http://www.subseaiq.com/data/Project.aspx?project_id=1128 http://www.petroleumequity.com/news.html
GDF Suez has developed the Cygnus Field which will come onstream in 2015 and produce 5% of the
UK’s gas at peak production of 250MM Cu ft per day.

BP are engaged in the re-development of the Schiehallion Field West of Shetland. The field is due to
re-start production in 2016. The new KBR-designed Glen Lyon FPSO has a 21,000-ton topsides
providing production capacity for 320,000 b/d of liquids and 220 MMcf/d of gas and 380,000 b/d of
produced water and seawater injection. All the pre-existing wells were suspended and will all be re-
opened for production. In addition 25 new wells (17 producers and 8 water injectors) will be drilled to
significantly increase output.

Hurricane Energy’s Lancaster Field is one of the most promising West of Shetland developments of
recent years. The development of a low capital cost Early Production System (EPS) shows
commercial awareness at a difficult time for financing big developments. The need to get cash flow
positive as early as possible is a very real one to prevent loss of commercial control to speculators.

7) Declining Output and De-commissioning
Oil Output in the UKCS has been declining since 1999. Until 2014 gas output had also dropped since it peaked in the year 2000. Oil output will not sink further it is about to take off again. A report that Scotland was facing a boom in output was met with a storm of protest from the Glasgow-based Centre for Public Policy in the Regions (CPPR) who’s eminence gris John McLaren, a former Labour Party researcher, was quick to damn any such foolish notion: http://newsnetscotland.com/index.php/scottish-economy/7560-cpprs-mclaren-pours-cold-water-on-scottish-economic-recovery-claims http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-21936723 The Office of Budget Responsibility (OBR) accepted the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) projections of future oil & gas output. We might sensibly start by looking at recent trends and how these are helping to shape projections of future output.
On the chart above can be seen the pattern of change in annual output over the period from 1980 to 2014. The addition of a trend line helps to give some perspective. Apart from a small blip in 2007 we have seen twelve years of declining output to a greater or lesser extent. In 2014 the decline slowed dramatically and output has risen so far Year-to-Date in 2015. The position for the following few years looks likely to show the significant increases in output we have been predicting. DECC show no positive increment in output from the record levels of capital spend seen on the UKCS over the last few years. They are predicting that the decline in underlying output will continue at an increased and increasing rate rather than showing the anticipated decline. They also appear to suggest that the output from new fields and from major re-developments will be negligible rather than transformational. It is not clear what underlying basis there is for these assumptions. We’re told basically that “we’ve been right in the past, so trust us, we’ll be right in the future”. For me, what we have to look at is whether the decline in recent years has been part of the long-term natural rate of decline or if the industry has suffered from events which have exaggerated the decline in output.

What we can see for oil is that most of the post-peak years have registered a decline in output of between 5% and 10% with three of the last four years showing figures in excess of this. There have been: 2011 Calendar Year Some excessive rates of depletion in certain fields such as Callanish, Clair and Schiehallion plus a major production problem in the Buzzard Field costing 2,000,000 Tonnes of lost production. 2012 Calendar Year Further excessive depletion from Callanish and Clair with the Elgin/Franklin debacle costing 2,000,000 Tonnes of lost production. A leak in a pipeline also caused the shut-in of the Foinaven field. 2013 Calendar Year The suspension of Schiehallion on its own accounted for almost half of the total reduction in the whole year (45.6%). Clair, Claymore, Magnus, Pierce and Don SW also contributed markedly to the decline in output. 2014 Calendar Year The arrival of Kinnoull and Golden Eagle during the course of the year helped the decline in production fall to the lowest seen since 2007. Peak production for a full year plus the addition of further fields will see output rise in 2015 for the first time since 1999. What has been the position with gas output?
2011 Calendar Year This year saw a big drop in output from the Rough Storage Facility which can skew the gas output number considerably on its own. Morecambe South, Goldeneye, Rhum, Brodger and Brent were all major movers over the period with Bruce, Andrew and Britannia all adding to the decline. Rhum’s output fell for political reasons. It was shut-in because it was half-owned by the national Iranian Oil Corporation. Morecambe South output fell as Centrica felt the price earned was not high enough. Goldeneye shut down with a view to a future role as a CCS site. Brent also fell due to depletion as did Andrew which is being re-developed. 2012 Calendar Year

The big story, as for oil, was the outage at Elgin/Franklin. This accounted for almost half the total decline in gas from the UKCS in the year. 2013 Calendar Year This year problems at Sean and Pierce accounted for over 70% of the drop. 2014 Calendar Year This year has seen a small rise in output for the first time in a number of years. Output from Breagh, Franklin, Juliet and Jasmine helped in a big way to achieve this. Conclusions The situation for oil output seems to be more to do with unplanned outages than with declines in production due to reservoir depletion. Output has been falling but the root cause for many of these drops has been work to restore and indeed to improve levels of output. Restoration of output from Schiehallion, Clair, Elgin & Franklin in the coming years will paint a very different picture. Output from Buzzard seems impossible to predict and this remains a significant cause for concern. Gas output is more of a mixed bag. There will be big increases in output from Elgin, Franklin and Rhum but the output from Rough Storage is very difficult to predict and indeed it might be better to factor this out of the equation.

If we start off from the 2014 level of oil output and subtract an annualised rate of decline of 10% per field (slightly higher than the actual rate excluding shut-downs for planned and unplanned outages) and we then add the predicted levels of additional output from new fields (factoring in a higher average rate of decline of 15% for these fields) then we can see that output in 2018 will be over 50% higher than it was in 2014.

Oil & Gas UK’s 2014 Economic Report predicts a rise of over 27% in output by 2017. They looked at oil & gas together & gave figures of approx 1.4MM boepd in 2013 rising to 1.7MM Boepd in 2017 in their “Central Case” scenario. Under their “Worst Case” output would fall from 1.4MM Boepd to 1.3MM Boepd, a decrease of 7.14%. To get to this position the decline rate from existing fields has to be much higher than it has been historically. As output from new fields is added between 2015 and 2017 the factor for declining production in existing fields has to climb from 10% to nearly 30% by 2017 – the figure of 12,027 shown in the table. This seems very unlikely to me but it reflects the considerable caution shown by Oil & Gas UK in forecasting future output. In comparison to DECC however their prediction is positively sunny.

DECC predicted a flat line in their “UKCS Oil and Gas Production Projections” March 2014 page 1. This was ludicrous but it has now been made even more farcical by the assertion that output will fall in their “UKCS Oil and Gas Production Projections” March 2015 page 1. This requires the decline in output from existing fields to increase from a normal rate of perhaps 10% to as high as 21.44% in 2015 and to over 42% in 2017. This isn’t conceivable or possible. In later years the opposite is the case. The natural rate of depletion has to fall in 2019 to 3.50% per cent for the DECC decline to be validated, this is far too low a rate. This prediction cannot be based on the projects coming into production over the next few years. It is not possible that all these fields can start producing and for oil output not to increase.

Predictions for oil are easily found on company websites and from industry sources. For gas the picture is much less clear. Many new fields give no figure for likely gas production. An accurate forecast therefore isn’t really possible for gas from public information sources.

Overall Conclusion Let’s start with what we don’t know. Oil prices have fallen significantly over the last eighteen months. We can’t predict if prices will recover to the levels seen before the slump. We certainly can’t tell when this might happen. Geopolitics prevents the swing producers the USA, Russia and Saudi Arabia from reaching an agreement to control output. The arrival of Iran on global markets over the next year will exert further downward pressure on prices. We cannot accurately predict UKCS gas output as few companies issue associated gas production projections. Available figures are therefore likely to understate future gas output. With regard to oil output the position is much clearer. What isn’t clear is how DECC have alighted on their current declining production forecast which seems to be totally at odds with the predictions of the companies completing the investments. The companies’ collective - Oil & Gas UK -expects oil output to rise by at least 27% and possibly by as much as 42% see fig 11 p 33, Oil & Gas UK “Economic Report 2014”. DECC is predicting a decline over the same period. The OBR has based its forecast on the DECC numbers which seem detached from reality. The figures for 2015-17 are particularly misleading. The massive rise in oil output which will take place has been reduced to less than zero by DECC. This requires a drop in 2017 output from existing fields of over 42% in that one year. How DECC’s model has fabricated this result must be examined without delay. The “discount factor” they have applied to company output predictions must have been dramatically increased for the next few years to give this result. Why has this been done? For DECC, time is running out. By 2017 the extent of their miscalculation will become apparent. Recent years have seen a decline in refinery capacity in the UK. This was permitted, at least in part, by the belief that oil output could only go down. The value added by refining crude oil could have significantly boosted UK plc’s GDP. That can’t happen now. Another nation’s economy will be boosted by this rise in GDP. We’ll re-import the final products from them.

Turnover has fallen significantly due primarily to the fall in the oil price over the last two years. Output will now start to rise but a recovery in price will be needed before these developments start to feed through to an improved out-turn for the Chancellor.

Tax take for 2013 has fallen steeply for the second year in a row. Initial analysis of the tax take in 2014 shows this may well turn out to be negative, with rebates claimed by firms exceeding receipts for the first time. We may have arrived at a position where the nation is paying the oil industry to take the oil away. I don’t think this will reduce demands for still further “cuts” in the taxes which aren’t being paid. These businesses have been driven into losses by the fall in oil prices. The value of assets has also been written down by a steep percentage – the business suffers a paper loss when this happens. The Corporation Tax return then turns a paper loss into a cash receipt by allowing the oil company to reclaim a share of the loss of value written off. When values rise again the reverse doesn’t tend to happen. Tax isn’t paid as the gain sits in a Revaluation Reserve in the Balance Sheet & doesn’t hit the P&L.
