A new Westwood Energy report commissioned by Offshore Energies UK shows the real-world impact on these hubs of stalling investment in domestic oil and gas. It shows the volumes UK terminals are handling – known as throughput levels – have declined by almost 40% since 2020, and without urgent reform of government policies will halve again by 2030. Not only because domestic oil and gas supports over 200,000 jobs, providing 50% of UK demand and contributing £25 billion to the economy. The rapid decline in oil and gas investment is threatening this integrated network. It risks beginning a domino effect as the premature decline domestic oil and gas impacts onshore terminals with knock-on consequences for wider industry.
