Exploration for and production of oil and natural gas from the North Sea has already had an important impact on economic and social life in North East Scotland. The industry's potential for the economy of both the United Kingdom and the region is considerable. This paper outlines the role of the regional development and promotion agency, the North East Scotland Development Authority (NESDA), in offshore oil and examines some of the benefits and problems generated by this new industry for the region which includes the City of Aberdeen and the Counties of Aberdeen, Banff, Kincardine, Moray, and Nairn.
