Scotland Wants A Share In The Oil Game

BBC Scotland’s investigation has confirmed that almost the same amount of oil is left in the North Sea as has already been extracted. Approximately 25 and 30 billion barrels of oil can still be recovered from the North Sea in the next 40 years, according to experts.

The disclosures are made in a BBC Scotland’s film that shows the links between the mining of oil at the North Sea and its effects in modern Scottish history. The film takes into account personal testimonies of the key players who have featured in the story on North Sea oil during the last four decades. The film delves deep into Scotland’s unknown achievements in oil and scrutinizes some of the mistakes that were made along the way.
