These deeds are the government’s contractual approach to providing oil and gas companies with certainty on the level of tax relief they will receive on future decommissioning costs. Oil & Gas UK, the trade association for the industry, estimates these deeds have released more than £5.7bn of capital for investment elsewhere.
The government made two payments in 2016/17 totalling £5.4m, as a result of a company defaulting on their decommissioning obligations. The Treasury reports to Parliament every year on progress with the deeds
