Delivering Sustainable Value from Exploration on the UK Continental Shelf

The United Kingdom Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) was created as a consequence of one of the key recommendations of the 2014 Wood Review. The OGA is a government company with the role of regulating, influencing and promoting the UK oil and gas industry. A series of strategies and associated delivery programmes set out how the OGA, UK government and industry should work together to achieve the principal objective of maximising economic recovery (MER) from the UK Continental Shelf.
