In this city, everyone feels the decline of the North Sea... The oil and gas fields in the North Sea are in terminal decline. Last year, the oil basin produced 34m tonnes of oil, its lowest since production in the North Sea was established in the 1970s.
For the past four decades they have prospered on the well-paid, secure jobs North Sea oil has provided. But now they are looking into an abyss. Most of my friends went into the North Sea industry because for them—and for their fathers and their grandfathers—it has always been seen as a sure thing.
