Recommendation
To date the NSTA has not published the names of those operators lagging behind in reducing their production emissions. This prevents investors, shareholders and other interested parties from being able to appraise the performance of individual companies against their net zero pledges. The NSTA has indicated to us that it would potentially be prepared to use its ‘soft power’ to influence operators by publishing details of the performance of individual operators or companies. We recommend that the North Sea Transition Authority publish an annual league table in its Emissions Monitoring Report detailing the performance on emissions reduction of individual operators and companies. The Government should signal its support for such an approach, which would encourage action by operators to reduce their upstream emissions.
Government response summary AI-generated
The NSTA reports domestic production emission data at an aggregated level and has published asset level domestic production emission information in publicly available dashboards; the government supports this approach.

NSTA Response The NSTA reports domestic production emission data via its annual Emissions Monitoring Report at an aggregated (basin-wide) level. As part of the NSTA’s work to increase transparency we have recently published asset level domestic production emission information in publicly available dashboards [NSTA Emissions Monitoring Dashboard] . This information will allow interested parties to compare the relative emissions performance of all oil and gas operations in the UKCS. The NSTA will also update its natural gas footprint analysis page to reflect latest data. Recommendation
