Analysis by energy consultancy Voar and campaign group Uplift found that 20 oil and gas fields licensed by the Conservative government between 2010 and 2024 have produced only 36 days' worth of gas to date, despite claims that new drilling would reduce energy bills and boost energy security. Experts argue the North Sea is a mature basin with 90% of reserves depleted, and that renewable energy and home improvements offer more effective long-term solutions to energy affordability and security.
