UK launches 28th Round

摘要

The UK’s Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC) has opened up its 28th Licensing Round for blocks in the North Sea. Increasing recovery of UK oil and gas will enhance energy security, support thousands of jobs and provide billions in increased tax revenues. The UK oil and gas sector already supports around 350,000 jobs, and last year attracted a record ￡14 Bn (US $23.3 Bn) of capital expenditure as well as supplying around half of the UK’s primary energy demand.
