HC Deb 09 March 1992 vol 205 cc374-5W
Mr. Burns

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what are Her Majesty's Government's latest forecasts of levels of United Kingdom petroleum production.

Mr. Wakeham

The latest forecasts for the United Kingdom petroleum production in the years 1992 to 1996 are as follows:

Million Tonnes
1992 85–105
1993 85–115
1994 95–130
1995 95–130
1996 90–130

As in previous years, the forecasts are presented in the form of a range of outcomes for each year. These take into account the many uncertainties involved. The figures include stabilised crude oil, natural gas liquids—NGLs and condensates. NGL and condensate production is expected to contribute between 4 million and 10 million tonnes annually to these figures.
