About us

We license, regulate and influence the UK oil, gas and carbon storage industries. We support UK energy security, drive emissions reduction from UK supplies, and help accelerate the transition to net zero to realise the potential of the North Sea as an integrated energy basin.

Interactive Energy Map for the UKCS

Organisations are using our interactive spatial and subsurface mapping tools to accommodate and integrate a range of technologies offshore – such as carbon storage, hydrogen, wind and oil and gas – and unlock the value of data.

Licensing rounds

We hold offshore and onshore petroleum licensing rounds, inviting applications from companies and making awards to those bids that promise to ensure economic recovery of the UK’s oil and gas resources, whilst supporting the drive to net zero carbon by 2050. 

Publications THE OGA STRATEGY
The OGA Strategy

The OGA Strategy places an obligation on the oil and gas industry to assist the Secretary of State in meeting the net zero carbon by 2050 target. The revised Strategy amends the MER UK Strategy.
