Offshore Industry: Licensing
(asked on 13th July 2015) - View Source
Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, whether there will be a licensing round in the North Sea in 2016.
This question was answered on 16th July 2015
The responsibility for oil and gas licensing in the North Sea is being passed over to the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) with the Energy Bill. I understand that the OGA is intending to launch a new offshore oil and gas licensing round during 2016.
