This paper reports that oil and gas development activity off the U.K. reached record levels in 1991. The number of producing oil and gas fields surpassed 100 for the first time last year, the U.K. Energy Ministry's annual Brown Book shows. With additions to oil and gas reserves topping production in 1991 and near record levels of equipment and supplies on order for projects, prospects look good for continued development, the Energy Minister Tim Eggar. Exploration budgets, however, are starting to falter. The Energy Ministry, now part of the U.K. Department of Trade and Industry, has replaced the Department of Energy, recently dissolved by the government, which previously published the annual Brown Book. Meantime, U.K. North Sea operators have marked progress in 1992 on a number of development projects.
