PetroScope additions
In his Pre-Budget Report on December 5, 2005, the Chancellor Gordon Brown announced changes to the taxes levied on UK North Sea Oil and Gas Production. These changes will take effect from January 1, 2006.
The PetroScope UKCS model has been revised to reflect these changes, which are highlighted below:
- Increased Rate of SCT
- Deferral of First Year Allowances
- Ring Fence Expenditure Supplement

We have created a new module for viewing project output data in the net interest view. The module, which is available for the UKCS model, enables users to view projects in a particular percentage.
