I can't recall the specific figures but, iirc, Scotland typically accounts for 85-95% of UK oil production and between 40-60% of gas production.<br />Fraser Whytenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603438996450817644.post-75776841473378751702020-02-03T04:21:20.350-08:002020-02-03T04:21:20.350-08:00Fair point re semantics of "rUK" = hango...Fair point re semantics of "rUK" = hangover from looking at this purely from the perspective of prospective Scottish indepdendence - by rights I suppose I should say "from London and the South East"Kevin Haguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14587343060415859159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603438996450817644.post-45169198292885397612020-02-03T02:57:44.270-08:002020-02-03T02:57:44.270-08:00Mr Hague, like most Scots you seem to have an issu...Mr Hague, like most Scots you seem to have an issue with using the word 'England'!<br /><br />For example you state rUK transfers to Scotland - when in fact Wales and N Ireland are not in a position to transfer to themselves let alone Scotland.<br /><br />Why 'big up' Scotland by comparing it to regions, too embarrassed to compare against England?<br /><br />Reminds me of the snp Scottish government who often use the term 'UK as a whole' which is code for 'England is outperforming Scotland' but Scotland 'is outperforming the UK'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603438996450817644.post-27035572677811252232020-02-03T02:30:21.407-08:002020-02-03T02:30:21.407-08:00Can I suggest that interested parties should look ...Can I suggest that interested parties should look at https://commonweal.scot/policy-library/within-our-grasp . This is quite a detailed strategy/tactics analysis by one of the saner non-SNP nationalists and it seems to me that many of the ideas are likely to be taken up by Nicola Sturgeon. It also, unwittingly, exposes some of the weaknesses in the nationalist case, particularly by, for once, discussing what "independence" actually means.

I thought there was a Gas component in any condensate recovered but perhaps its not recovered and flared off. <br />For anyone wishing to know how Scotland derives its own tax revenues the 2018/19<br />GERS methodology document of the SNP's own choice can be found here.

See for example Laggan/Tormore https://www.ep.total.com/en/laggan-tormore.
