UKCS drilling activity rockets

摘要

Drilling activity on the UCKS has leapt by 44% this year, driven mainly by independent operators, figures released by Deloitte have revealed. Deloitte's North West Europe Review, which summarises drilling and licensing in the region and is produced by its Petroleum Services Group (PSG), reports that 91 exploration and appraisal wells were spudded in the UK between the beginning of January and the end of August 2008 - a 44% increase on the same period last year.
