Clyde1998 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) Oh no! How are we going cope with this new found oil destroying our economy!? Edited November 8, 2015 by Clyde1998 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunchy Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 The only time I have ever heard west coast oil being mentioned in msm was when Tommy raised it on one of the shows during the ref. The media like to harp on about the oil running out and play up when some of the workers lose there jobs. Still not seen them say anything about rigs being moved to new well heads or the resent oil discovery's in both the north sea and off Shetlands west coast. They will never talk positively about Scotland's oil as we all know it would be a big boost to the question of an independent Scotland's economy and a big loss to the new UK's.

We should invest in wind and tidal power as well - apparently we have a quarter of the EU's potential energy in both. This would give us a huge financial boost - as well. We're such a energy rich nation, but the UK doesn't seem to like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deecie Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 We should invest in wind and tidal power as well You do realise we already lead the world in both?

Did you miss this last week?: www.statoil.com/en/NewsAndMedia/News/2015/Pages/03Nov_HywindScotland_news_page.aspx The Westminster government is doing its best to change that though. The changes to the subsidy system have had a really damaging effect on the renewables industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunchy Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Yup we were doing to well with renewables that the Westminster got scared and decided to reduce the subsidies knowing it would disproportionately affect Scotland. Any time we have something to show we can make it on our own Westminster or the media swipe it down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Apache are looking to bale from the North Sea they need some token oil for the new purchaser to extract otherwise they will be left with the decommissioning costs. There is more politics in this industry than there is in Holyrood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hampden_loon2878 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 the amount of recoverable oil remaining in the north sea is staggering,, even just to have it for energy security as we move away from fossil fuels in the future,, oil and gas will always be used in some capacity. i know for a fact there is another untapped oil field east of the claire ridge,, i know the company man that drilled it,, there is the untapped bentley field that is massive..

Bzzzz Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Thing is there is no way in the world this resource is going to be left where it is, the govt in England is SO inept and pathetic it NEEDS the revenue DESPERATELY, people can cry about the environment, it won't make any difference to them, at all. We had a chance in 2014 to change all of this, change the attitude towards the environment and the use of fossil fuels and our resources but no, "we" were too pathetic and too fkin stupid.
