The prominent changes in the UK’s tax regime for the oil and gas industry is likely to push the growth of the sector over the forecast period. The change in the tax regime is expected to bring relief for the operators working in the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) Basin.

The reduction of Petroleum Revenue Tax (PRT) to 0% from 35% is likely to boost operator’s revenue. However, the UK’s Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) states that only 43% of the oil is expected to be produced from UKCS along with limited number of mature wells.

This trend is likely to push the operators to opt for efficient manners of recovery such as EOR. However, the concern with respect to the inadequate infrastructure and decommissioning are primary restraint for the industry’s growth.
