About the Energy Report

Development of the Oil and Gas Resources of the United Kingdom 2000

The Department of Trade and Industry’s annual report on the development of the oil and gas resources of the United Kingdom (known throughout the oil and gas industry as ‘the Brown Book’) remains the pre-eminent source of information for those with a professional or academic interest in the United Kingdom’s oil and gas resources.

This year’s edition contains a variety of information about the UK’s upstream industry. It contains estimates of oil and gas reserves on the United Kingdom Continental Shelf (UKCS) and facts and figures on oil and gas exploration, development and production. It includes financial and economic information about the impact of oil and gas production on the UKCS. There is also coverage of the offshore environmental regime.

A series of useful appendices cover the specific aspects of oil and of oil and gas development, such as licences issued, wells drilled, significant discoveries, oil and gas fields in production and under development, production statistics and expenditure by operators. The now traditional map section remains a key feature.
