The official history of North Sea oil and gas

摘要

Written by a leading expert in UK petroleum economics, these two volumes in the government official history series provide an in-depth analysis of British policies towards the North Sea oil and gas industry from the early 1960s to the early 1980s. Drawing on full access to the UK government's relevant archives, in Volume 1 (The growing dominance of the state), the author examines the thinking behind initial legislation in 1964, the early licensing arrangements and the events leading up to boundary delimitation agreements with Norway and other North Sea countries.
