a) Oil & Gas UK’s Membership
Much of the data used in this publication
have been collected from Oil & Gas UK’s
membership, the composition of which can
be seen below in Figure 47. The membership
has changed dramatically since 2007, from
consisting of almost entirely larger operators
to encompassing all parts of the industry.
The influx of smaller independent operators,
contractors, suppliers and associated service
businesses is a reflection of Oil & Gas UK’s
objective of welcoming a broader, more
representative membership. The increase
of smaller, independent operators is a result
of the changing nature of the companies
that operate on the UKCS compared with
earlier years.
