Notes: 

(1) All figures are rounded to the nearest 1000 tonnes unless otherwise stated. (This rounding has created some discrepancies between annual and cumulative production for each field and between UKCS totals).
(2) Barrels per day has been calculated by using a standard conversion and dividing the total production volumes by 365. 
(3) Production from offshore extended well tests other than those within established fields.
(4) Production from onshore mining licence areas.
(5) Production from onshore extended well tests other than those within established fields.
(6) C5+ condensate is a mixture of pentane and heavier hydrocarbons that arise mainly from the processing of NGLs at pipeline terminals. 
(7) NGLs are ethane, propane and butane produced in the processing of liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons at pipeline terminals.
** Sedgwick and W Brae are one field and Columba B and D are also one field.
