Managing the future of UK oil and gas Energy Security and Net Zero Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 7 Jan 2026) Following an initial evidence session in Parliament on the role of the UK’s refinery industry in the energy transition, the Committee is launching a new inquiry and call for evidence on the future of UK oil and gas. Data from the oil and gas industry shows that it directly supports around 26,000 jobs across the UK and indirectly supports 95,000 more – through offshore drilling, rigging, catering and scaffolding, and onshore fabrication yards, anchor manufacturing, vessel maintenance and more. There are an estimated, further 84,000 jobs for hospitality workers and taxi drivers that serve these industrial communities. The UK has of course experienced previous energy and industrial transitions with the closure of its coal mines in the 1980s, and more recently the closure of major steel manufacturing works. The harsh experience of deindustrialisation has raised concerns that large, skilled workforces may bear the brunt of moving away from fossil fuels. The successful redeployment of the workforce at the UK’s last coal power plant Ratcliffe may prove difficult to replicate for the sector-wide transition away from oil & gas. Yet a key element in delivering the energy transition will be to ensure that the benefits from existing fossil fuel extraction can be utilised in establishing the industry that will replace it. In the initial session in Parliament on October 29, witnesses from the industry highlighted the need to address the oil and gas industry’s fiscal environment. They reinforced the Scottish Affairs Committee’s conclusion that there needs to be a revision to the Energy Profits Levy where “a lack of clarity on the fiscal regime beyond 2030 has created uncertainty for industry in the North Sea. The Energy Profits Levy at its current rate of 38%, which brings the headline rate of tax to 78%, is seen by many in industry as no longer proportionate”. The Committee also heard a further call to ensure that refineries were included in the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, so they could compete on a level playing field with foreign based competitors in what is a global market. The Committee is now launching a full inquiry into the role of oil and gas in the energy transition, the management of the UK’s North Sea energy basin and how the transition away from gas in home heating might be achieved. It will aim to:
