  3. ANNUAL OIL PRODUCTION(million tonnes)

  4. ANNUAL GAS PRODUCTION(billion cubic metres)

  5. OFFSHORE EXPENDITURE IN 2005(C$ million) • Newfoundland 1,345 • Norway 24,600 • UK 20,785

  6. INDUSTRY COMPARISONS • Norwegian oil and gas production 15 xNewfoundland • UK oil and gas production 12 x Newfoundland • 300 producing fields offshore UK • 54 producing fields offshore Norway • 3 producing fields offshore Newfoundland • Norwegian offshore expenditure 18 x Newfoundland • UK offshore expenditure 15 x Newfoundland

  7. UKCS EXPENDITURE SURVEY

  8. NORWAY EXPENDITURE SURVEY

  9. MAP OF SCOTLAND

  10. KEY FEATURES IN SCOTLAND • 35 years of activity, with fluctuations • 1100+ companies involved as main activity, plus many otheres • Currently 75,000 oil and gas jobs in Scotland, including 30,000 offshore • Gas industry becoming more important • Tax revenues go to UK rather than Scotland

  11. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS IN SCOTLAND • Most activity and employment concentrated in the Aberdeen area • Increasing concentration in Aberdeen following closure of platform fabrication yards • Increasing concentration following oil price collapse in 1990s….economies of scale and proximity • Other significant areas include • Shetland … Sullom Voe oil terminal and Lerwick supply base • Orkney … Flotta oil terminal • Cromarty Firth … Rig IRM base and Nigg oil terminal • Fife … Mossmorran NGL plant

  12. COPING WITH DECLINE • Diversification into other offshore markets, eg • Norway - Gulf of Mexico • West Africa - Caspian Sea • Diversification into other energy markets, eg • wind farms, onshore and offshore • marine/wave/tidal energy • Supply of labour to other offshore markets • Offshore decommissioning market • Average company turnover now 68% UK and 32% international, with latter increasing

  13. THE SHETLAND EXAMPLE • Close-knit community, comparable with Newfoundland and Labrador • Very active local authority .. Shetland Islands Council • Support from Shetland Enterprise, part of the Highlands and Islands Enterprise network • Oil revenues/taxes from throughput at Sullom Voe terminal • Re-investment in other local industries • salmon farming - information technology • fish processing - tourism • Investment in infrastructure • airports - ferry terminals • higher education facilities

  15. KEY FEATURES IN NORWAY • History and scale similar with UK/Scotland but more stable and with smaller fluctuations because of gov policies • More protectionist policies than in UK have increased national and local benefits • State companies Statoil and Norsk Hydro dominate production and expenditure • Benefits spread more widely because of country’s geography

  16. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS IN NORWAY • Three distinct areas - North Sea in the south - Norwegian Sea in the middle - Barents Sea in far north • North Sea - Stavanger main oil centre in country - Karsto, Mongstad, Kollnes terminals - Various fabrication yards in region

  17. NORWAY BENEFITS (2) • Norwegian Sea - Kristiansund main base - Nyhamna and Tjeldbergodden terminals - Best examples for Newfoundland • Barents Sea - Hammerfest main base - Snohvit LNG development - Best examples for Labrador, partic gas
