United Kingdom oil production 1975–2012 (data from DECC) Petroleum production and consumption in the United Kingdom After UK oil production peaked at nearly 3 million barrels per day in 1999, [17] concerns over peak oil production were raised by high-profile voices in the United Kingdom such as David King [18] and the Industry Task-Force on Peak Oil and Energy Security.

The oil and gas industry in the United Kingdom produced 1.42 million BOE per day [4] in 2014, of which 59% [4] was oil/liquids. In 2013 the UK consumed 1.508 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil and 2.735 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas, [5] so is now an importer of hydrocarbons having been a significant exporter in the 1980s and 1990s.
Renewable energy in the United Kingdom contributes to production for electricity, heat, and transport. From the mid-1990s, renewable energy began to play a part in the UK's electricity generation, building on a small hydroelectric capacity. Wind power, which is abundant in the UK, has since become the main source of renewable energy.
The UK’s domestic energy prices (including taxes) were 72.7 percent above the average for IEA prices in 2023, at 36.4p/kWh compared to an average of 21.1p/kWh. The data was not yet available for ...
In both years the United Kingdom was the fourth highest producer of electricity from gas. In 2005 the UK produced 3.2% of the world total natural gas; ranking fifth after Russia (21.8%), United States (18%), Canada (6.5%) and Algeria (3.2%). In 2009 the UK’s own gas production was less and natural gas was also imported. [60] [61]
Statistics for petroleum refining in the UK are gathered by the United Kingdom Petroleum Industry Association (UKPIA), on Chancery Lane in London, and the recently formed (July 2016) Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. The Institute of Petroleum merged with the Institute of Energy to form the Energy Institute in 2003. [19]
This is a list of countries by total primary energy consumption and production. 1 quadrillion BTU = 293 TW·h = 1.055 EJ 1 quadrillion BTU/yr = 1.055 EJ/yr = 293 TW·h/yr = 33.433 GW. The numbers below are for the total energy consumption or production in a whole year, so should be multiplied by 33.433 to get the average value in GW in that year.
This is a list of countries and dependencies by annual electricity production. China is the world's largest electricity producing country, followed by the United States and India. Data are for the year 2022 and are sourced from Ember. [1] Links for each location go to the relevant electricity market page, when available.
