Why the UK 7:3). 7 a good prow for Norwegian for global Non-OPEC) production
While some have looked at the UK as a cautionary tale for both the North Sea
and as an example for global Non-OPEC production, we see limited read
through. Like its neighbor, the UK has seen steadily declining production
despite a significant increase in capital spent. However, we see a few
meaningful differences: 1) fiscal policy (including the most recent tax change)
has done little to encourage exploration in the region (unlike Norway), resulting
in far fewer meaningful growth projects in the development queue (check the
data on this), 2) aging infrastructure has become increasingly problematic
land in many cases borderline non-functioning), driving rapid increases in
operating expenses and decreases in production efficiency, with increasing
amounts of capital used for maintenance and asset retirement. In contrast,
Norway has seen relatively limited operating cost inflation (declined in 2014),
with nearly 50% of spend on producing fields free to support development
drilling.
