Report summary
A UK general election is expected in 2024, with future of the upstream sector central to the political debate on energy security. The long-term impact on the UKCS could be significant. In contrast, Norway will continue to underpin energy supply within Europe. Total investment will remain broadly flat, despite record levels of development in Norway and a pipeline of potential projects in the UK. Deal activity should also pick up. Exploration in Norway could return to levels not seen since 2015 and COP28 and the UK emissions consultation will impact decarbonisation across the North Sea.
