Oil and gas reports
Spends and Trends 2007 - UK Continental Shelf (UKCS)
The UKCS is a mature offshore market which dates back over 40 years to the mid 1960s. It was the largest individual market, in terms of offshore expenditure, in the world for many years. However, oil and gas production have both passed their peaks and the future generally seems to be one of a decline in activity and expenditure.

Carbon Capture and Storage market opportunities
This report, produced for Scottish Enterprise and the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, says Scottish businesses in particular can capitalise on the opportunities presented by the growing need to tackle rising C02 emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels.
It was commissioned to assess the market opportunities arising from Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), which essentially involves separating CO2 from sources such as power stations, and transporting it for long-term storage in geological formations, primarily in depleted oil and gas fields in the North Sea.
