EVOL: Extracurricular crisis, Shell’s LNG outlook and ‘the end of North Sea investment’?

Roses are red, hydrogen is blue, celebrate with a Valentine’s day EVOL podcast for two.
Ryan travels to Aberdeenshire this week, where council plans to slash childcare provision have stirred warnings over the impact on parents - and gender balance - in the energy sector.
The fallout from Labour’s manifesto pledge to hike windfall tax rates continues to blow through the industry, with claims tens of thousands of jobs could be at risk. Could the policy herald “the end of oil and gas investment in the North Sea”, as has been claimed?
And Ed gazed into Shell’s LNG-powered crystal ball this week, taking the long term view on Europe’s softening on new gas supplies in the face of energy security concerns.

EVOL: EPL 'betrayal', rig mishaps and a win for BP

Keir Starmer was up in Aberdeen recently but did he listen to the industry? 
The team dive into Labour's announcement that it will up the rate of the windfall tax to ensure the headline rate will match that of Norway. Aberdeen and Grampian Chamber of commerce has described this as a "betrayal", while others claim investors will run for the hills.
Looking back on the dramatic footage of the moment the Ocean Great White semisubmersible rig’s lower marine riser package “unintentionally separated” and fell to the sea floor, Allister, Andrew and Ryan discuss what's next for the incident at BP's Schiehallion field.
Finally, recount a positive week for BP with lots on the horizon for the firm, share buybacks getting a boost and profits defying investor expectations. However, is this fuel on the fire for Labour's EPL hike?

EVOL: Exploration, Aramco and Monkey-watch

Monkeying around! No that’s not about the Japanese macaque on the loose in the Highlands, but the debate around North Sea exploration.
The team dig into it as dozens of new licences are issued this week, and as new polling suggests a split between those who support domestic production and those in favour of continued exploration in the UK.
And we’re over to Aramco as plans to cut back capacity deliver a blow to big projects and the share prices of big oil contractors.

EVOL: Juicing the Orange Basin, Scotland’s port potential and letters to the First Minister

Fresh from the bright lights of Pareto’s annual E&P conference in London, Ed reports on Africa Oil’s big hopes for the year – not least of which include exploration opportunities in Orange Basin acreage off Namibia and South Africa.
Meanwhile Andrew has been coast to coast looking at the UK’s offshore wind hopes, with port infrastructure remaining one of the key challenges, particularly in the wake of news that another set of floating turbines will be towed abroad for maintenance.
And Allister pores over a letter sent by Ithaca Energy to First Minister Humza Yousaf voicing discontent over his “extremely disappointing” opposition to Rosebank. Is this just the tip of the politicking iceberg in a general election year?
