UK North Sea operators seek fiscal regime changes

摘要

Aberdeen, UK-North Sea operators September 8 called on the UK government to make adjustments to the fiscal regime under which they operate to encourage maximum recovery of offshore reserves. John Manzoni, CEO of Talisman Energy, said the UK's fiscal regime had always evolved over time, but that now it was "time for some more evolution." Speaking at Aberdeen's Offshore Europe 2009 conference, Manzoni said that one policy that needed looking at was tax relief for decommissioning costs.
