A key task force of subsurface experts has relaunched with a new name to reflect the evolution of its activities and membership in support of an orderly transition to net zero. The Subsurface Task Force’s purpose is to promote responsible use of storage and energy resources to ensure the UK’s energy security, reduce emissions and deliver societal and economic value.
The UK’s Exploration Task Force (‘XTF’) has recently issued an information pack making the case for responsible investment in UK oil and gas exploration and production. Investment will support the industry in limiting the impact of global supply challenges as it works towards meeting its 2050 net zero commitment, in parallel with UK demand reduction and expansion of low carbon energies and energy storage.
