Scenario brief · v3.2 · 2026-05-04

North Sea supply cliff accelerates UK and Norwegian export decline.

// The hypothesis

Underinvestment and faster-than-expected field decline cut North Sea oil and gas output sharply over a single year.

4 North Sea producers · oil + gas exports

// Modelled impact

The United Kingdom's gas import dependence deepens and Norway's export surplus narrows, tightening the north-west European balance and lifting prices for connected markets.
