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
199285–105
199385–115
199495–130
199595–130
199690–130
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.
