The Scottish Government is committed to working in partnership with business and industry to deliver a just transition for Scotland’s valued oil and gas sector, which recognises the declining nature of the North Sea basin and is in line with our climate change commitments.We recognise that the oil and gas sector has an important and valued continuing role to play in our economy and energy; and that retention of both a strong workforce and energy supply chain, will be crucial for the success of the transition to net zero and renewables.Offshore oil and gas licensing and consenting, as well as the associated fiscal regime, are currently reserved to the UK Government.
