Minister of Energy and Energy Industries, Stuart Young, said gas production fell significantly between 2019 and 2020, largely because of project delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. He also said exploration resources rose from 2019 to 2020 by almost 10%.
The Minister held a Virtual Media Conference on Tuesday where the 2021 Deepwater Competitive Bid Round was launched and details of the Ryder Scott Audit 2020 were shared.
