This report from Offshore Energies UK (OEUK), produced in collaboration with Westwood Global Energy Group, provides a detailed assessment of the UK’s domestic gas production and its role in supporting energy security. It is designed for policymakers, operators and industry stakeholders, highlighting how sustained domestic production underpins reliable supply, supports jobs across the UK, and reduces reliance on imported LNG.
The report sets out an overview of the UK gas system, covering production trends, processing terminals, pipeline networks and storage facilities. It examines the risks of underinvestment, the potential impact on supply, and the opportunities to enhance production through exploration, field development and infrastructure optimisation. It also considers future upside across the UK Continental Shelf, including undeveloped fields, emerging hubs and under-explored areas that could extend the life of existing infrastructure and strengthen energy resilience. An essential reference for understanding the strategic value of UK gas, supporting investment decisions and planning for a secure, low-emission energy future.
