| /ME, /TX | North Sea maintenance means a six-month hiccup in supplies, says |
| Gail Counsell | |
| TEXT: | |
| /LP | CONTINUING safety work on North Sea oil rigs will turn Britain |
| from a net oil exporter to a net oil importer for the first six | |
| months of this year. | |
| Despite the Gulf crisis, the government has made it clear it | |
| expects oil companies to meet deadlines for completing the work - | |
| primarily fitting of emergency shut-down valves - prompted by the | |
| Piper Alpha disaster. | |
| /TX | The work, which began last year, will be stepped up in the |
| early part of this year and will mean taking further platforms | |
| out of production. | |
| Analysts at brokers County NatWest estimate that UK oil | |
| production will probably dip to just over 1.6 million barrels per | |
| day, compared with average expected consumption of about 1.75 | |
| million barrels. | |
| UK oil production peaked at 2.67 millions barrels daily in | |
| 1985 and 1986, but dropped fractionally in 1987, and then fell to | |
| 2.3 million in 1988. | |
| In 1989, problems with North Sea platforms began to cut into | |
| production, which fell sharply to about 1.9 million barrels a | |
| day. | |
| Last year, the average was about 1.84 million (with another | |
| 0.03 million from onshore fields). | |
| No major shutdowns are planned for the second half of 1991, | |
| however, and production should recover by the end of the year. | |
| "The shortfall during the first six months could be up to 15 | |
| million barrels, or about eight days of oil demand," says Stephen | |
| Halliday, of County NatWest. | |
| But the disruption is unlikely to cause problems as UK oil | |
| stocks are high, standing at the equivalent of about 85 days of | |
| forward consumption - significantly above the minimum 76 days | |
| required by European Community regulations, and well above the 45 | |
| days the Department of Engergy considers to be the minimum amount | |
| necessary to ensure the distribution and refining system works | |
| properly. | |
| Despite production hitches, the long-term outlook for | |
| production - and government revenues - from the North Sea is | |
