EVOL: New wells, plugging old ones and connecting turbines

This week Hamish talks us through the decommissioning report that highlighted the wealth of opportunities for UK businesses as 70% of spending in UK waters goes to domestic firms. However, much like the wind and helicopter industries, decom is being hit with inflation. 

 

Ryan poses the question, should we set an end date? OEUK's Mark Wilson says that the country "would not forgive" the person who stopped handing out licenses. That being said, there is a lot to consider when talking about shutting down oil and gas.

 

Andrew covers the Winser report and the issues with grid connection for wind turbines. The UK seems to be trying to solve a 21st century issue with 20th century infrastructure, why haven't we addressed this issue sooner?
