BP’s North Sea president Mark Thomas will step into the Editor’s seat for Energy Voice this week.
Mark will pen a trio of editorials where he will assess the North Sea’s health, discuss weathering the ‘North Sea storm’ and explain why optimism is creeping back into BP’s strategy.
Tomorrow find out what the North Sea leader thinks people should stop holding their breath for. On Wednesday he tackles the North Sea asset shake-up and on Thursday he examines what ‘mature’ really means.
His guest editorship comes after BP chief executive Bob Dudley sat down exclusively with Energy Voice.
The oil boss pledged to double North Sea production.
The oil major will drill five exploration wells next year and 50 new development wells over the next three.
The operator is expecting first oil from two of its major developments, Quad 204 early next year and Clair Ridge in 2018.
Late last year, BP acquired interest in two North Sea exploration prospects, Jock Scott and Craster.
The buy-in was followed by the confirmation that it had started drilling a prospect in the Southern North Sea
Over the last five years it has invested $10billion in the North Sea. Last year, it invested a $1billion into its aging ETAP field, securing its future through 2030.
