NORTH WEST EUROPE

 

The influence of North Sea oil and gas output in Northwest Europe has been huge. However oil production has been in decline since 2000 with no hope of recovery.

 

Decline in gas production has been delayed by new developments in Norway but by 2009 these will be unable to offset depletion of the traditional gas producing areas in the Southern North Sea.

 

Oil demand growth in Northwest Europe is being constrained by higher prices and the influence of new environmental concerns but imports are growing as the North Sea declines.

 

Gas demand growth will continue, albeit at a slower rate, especially for fuel substitution. Regional gas imports, which will begin in 2006/07, will thus progressively increase, primarily from Russia but also as LNG from Qatar and North Africa.
