Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : In those circumstances, the best that North Sea operators can probably hope for is to be used as a piggybank for the funding of green boondoggles - even if Labour's proposed response to the subsidies and protectionism of Biden's Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has now been substantially watered down.
51% : Nevertheless, with the EPL in the mix, the headline rate of tax being paid by oil and gas companies on their North Sea operations is now a whopping 75%.
50% : If you're a major international oil company (IOC) in the offshore business, why invest in marginal North Sea fields and pay eye-watering rates of tax when there are far more lucrative opportunities out there?
