A UK general election is expected in 2024, with the future of the upstream sector central to the political debate on net zero and energy security. The long-term impact on the UKCS could be significant.

  • Investment: how many FIDs are expected and what's required to get them over the line?
  • Exploration: where are the wells to watch?
  • Decarbonisation: emissions reduction continues but is electrification in the UK struggling?
  • M&A: what's in the deal pipeline?
