As Government grapples with big decisions on the future of North
Sea gas and oil fields, Committee will hear evidence on UK gas
supply and production
The first panel will explore the current situation regarding gas
storage and supply to users across the UK, as well as repurposing
and decommissioning the network as part of the transition away
from fossil fuels.
The second panel will delve deeper into the impacts of
decommissioning on stakeholders from the network owners and gas
suppliers to industrial and household users and workers.
This is the third session of the Committee's inquiry on Managing the future of UK oil
and gas. The first session in June explored the aspects of
energy security, competitiveness, climate commitments,
decommissioning, repurposing and a just transition, as well as
the interdependencies of the oil and gas sector with refineries,
manufacturing and ports.
For the second session the Committee travelled to Aberdeen to
hear direct about the impact of the fossil fuel sector and the
energy transition on Aberdeen's economy, community and
workers.
