Bring prosperity to the oil industry in Aberdeen

North Sea oil and gas industry revival seemed to give Aberdeen brought new prosperity. Over the past decade,Frac sand Aberdeen this booming port city in northeast Scotland's unemployment rate is lower than half the national average, while the price is doubled. Restaurant and bar was full of oil workers, they are enjoying the energy industry brought prosperity. This year, the North Sea oil and gas fields offshore investment may reach a record 13 billion pounds ($ 20.1 billion total). Previously, the North Sea oil and gas industry has been regarded as a recession. After peaking in 1999, the North Sea oil and gas industry began to decline. Now, the situation seems much improved. To 2017, offshore oil and gas production will grow to 200 million barrels of oil equivalent daily. However, this figure also reflects a problem, there's a good long time? Answer affect far more than Aberdeen. Aberdeen University's John Patterson and Greg Gordon survey by the offshore oil and gas to meet the energy needs of nearly half of the UK, supporting tens of thousands of jobs. In addition, from 2011 to 2012, unconventional gas oil and gas industry accounted for all UK companies total tax 1/4. Opposed independence for Scotland's person, an independent Scotland would rely on uncertain and declining resources, which is very unfavorable. However, support for Scottish independence who saw the prosperity of coastal development activities. They believe that Scotland would be better under their control, while in the United Kingdom under the influence of politicians, but had political problems while ignoring the North Sea development prospects. Former Labour politician Denis Healey recently admitted that the British government in the 1970s had "nationalist threat" and underestimate the value of offshore oil. Taking into account including energy price trends, technological progress and the sensitivity of tax policy and other factors, the forecast can be said that the oil industry is an extremely difficult task. British Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne agreed to delay the 2011 proposed tax increases on oil fields 2 billion pounds of programs, while committed to decommissioning of old drilling platforms and pipelines to provide a relaxed policy, investment in the North Sea oil and gas began to soar. Even in the maintenance of a rapidly aging offshore facilities to spend more money, but high oil prices are still willing to make the oil companies in more challenging areas of investment. Energy companies can use precise three-dimensional seismic imaging technology horizontal drilling on the seabed for navigation, while the new hydraulic fracturing technology also makes it possible to increase oil and gas production. Statistics show that the UK Continental Shelf recoverable energy reserves of 15 billion to 240 billion barrels of oil equivalent. frac sandScottish government said the $ 113 per barrel oil prices conservative calculations, the value of the Scottish North Sea revenue over the next six years up to 48 billion pounds. However, the University of Aberdeen Business School Professor Alex Kemp pointed out that "the North Sea oil and gas exploration need to improve the management level. There are indications that North Sea oil and gas production will rise in a few years, and then be in a state of rapid decline." Production decline forecast remind people of the North Sea again decline may be expected. However, even if oil revenues decline, the impact on the fate of Aberdeen, North Sea infrastructure is also upgrading the mirage-like scene of relaxation. Senior industry consultant, said, "in many parts of oil service companies and workers have the North Sea oil and gas exploration technology to other places."
