UK oil production continues decline

theoildrum.com -> irna.com :

The year-on-year decline in oil and gas production in the UK sector of the North Sea is continuing its decline, dropping by a further combined 10% in March, according to the latest monthly report by the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Oil production was down 5% on the month at 1,403,005 barrels per day (bpd) and down 14% on the year, while natural gas output production decreased 3% and 6% respectively to 8,581 million standard cubic feet per day (mmcfd).

The bank said that the decline, which started in 2000, was continuing despite near-record investment in 2006. It suggested that increased drilling activity, the underlying long-term fall in production was "unlikely to be reversed."

- A 14% decline (in the oil portion) is very steep. That's about equivalent to the depletion rate of Mexico's Cantarell (world's second largest) field.
