YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Managing mature-basin decline while protecting supply
- UK Continental Shelf output is declining as fields mature; oil production averaged about 700,000 barrels a day in 2023, increasing reliance on imports.
- YCP combines asset-level performance analysis with portfolio strategy to identify value-accretive investment, extend field life and strengthen supply resilience.
Making investment decisions amid fiscal and policy shifts
- The UK’s headline tax rate for oil and gas profits is 78%, while licensing, windfall-tax and transition-policy changes complicate long-term capital planning.
- Through scenario modelling and policy-informed business cases, YCP helps leaders prioritise capital, assess returns and build robust investment roadmaps.
Balancing decarbonisation with operational economics
- Operators must cut production emissions by 50% by 2030 versus 2018, while electrification, methane abatement and carbon capture require major investment.
- YCP translates emissions targets into practical abatement portfolios, linking technology choices, funding options and delivery plans to operational value.
Delivering decommissioning at scale and with certainty
- Decommissioning demand is accelerating across the UK Continental Shelf, with more than £20 billion of activity expected over the coming decade.
- YCP supports integrated decommissioning strategies that optimise sequencing, contracting and supply-chain capacity while managing cost, risk and compliance.
