Britain dismantles its oil industry

from FT News in Focus

Britain's North Sea oil infrastructure is being dismantled, rig by rig, after falling oil prices made the industry unprofitable. Many in the north of Scotland hope decommissioning can provide a lifeline for a local economy. Matthew Vincent asks FT oil correspondent Kiran Stacey and Lex writer Alan Livesy who will foot the bill. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
