The North Sea Transition Deal is an agreement between industry and government to deliver an orderly energy transition. The NSTA is helping deliver on many of the aims of the deal.

Low-carbon hydrogen has the potential to bolster the UK’s future energy security and play a transformative role in the UK’s transition to net zero.

The UK has a world-class supply chain which has provided the skills, services and pioneering technologies needed to deliver North Sea oil and gas in some of the harshest weather conditions for more than half a century.  

The North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) introduced new measures in 2018 to ensure operators work appropriately with the supply chain and derive maximum value from project activity.

The development phase of the oil and gas life cycle covers the period after an economic discovery has been made and details the processes required to take the discovery up to, but before, the production phase. 

NSTA analysis of data submitted in the annual stewardship survey and the Technology Plans allows delineation of emerging trends related to industry focus on technology across the asset lifecycle, technology maturity, sourcing of technology, supply chain engagement and operator technology spend.​

The NSTA is committed to helping the UK government reaching its goal of net zero emissions by 2050 and we have refreshed our core Strategy to integrate net zero and develop benchmarking to monitor emissions performance.
