2004 Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA5 Technical Report - Socio-economics
This report is a contribution to the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA5) conducted by the Department of Trade and Industry (now Department of Energy and Climate Change). This report assesses the socio-economic implications of licensing the SEA 5 area and sets out the results in relation to: oil and gas production, and reserves; capital, operating and decommissioning expenditure; employment; tax revenue; social impacts. The Department of Trade and Industry provided scenarios of possible exploration and development activity in the area and these scenarios were converted into optimistic and pessimistic scenarios. They were then used to produce forecasts of: oil and gas production; oil and gas reserves; expenditure; employment; and tax revenues. The implications for existing facilities in the area are discussed and the potential social impacts.

As part of the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change's Offshore Energy Strategic Environmental Assessment programme Mackay Consultants were asked by Geotek Ltd and Hartley Anderson Ltd, on behalf of the DTI, to assess the socio-economic implications of licensing the SEA 5 area. Various sources were used in the compilation of the report.
