North Sea Decline Rate Framework: We construct our decline rate analysis for
the underlying asset base by adjusting the actual reported monthly production
numbers for growth and maintenance outliers. Specifically, we extract
production contributions from growth projects and normalize maintenance
outages on a monthly basis over the examined time window (we use a
normalized 3% of prior year adjusted production as a normal run-rate). We
then calculate the resulting annual decline and find that over the last five years
decline rates peaked in 2011 at 12% following the drop-off in investment in
2010. In our view, the 12% decline in 2012 is likely understated given the V-
shaped recovery in the commodity. The UK Oil and Gas industry mentions a
normalized decline rate of 10% in the UKCS with moderate levels of brown-
field investing, though decline-rates on mature assets could be expected to
reach declines of 15%-i with minimal capital influx.
In our base case we assume a gradual reversion to a more normalized decline-
rate of 12%. We estimate that a 1% change to our base case decline rates
would impact 2017 production by 3%. In our view, a further devaluation of
local currencies in the near-term, alongside capital reallocation tail-winds
would present upside to brown-field investments.
Figure 35: Brownfield spending has kept declines (ex new growth projects) at
—10% YoY over the last 5 yrs. peaking in 201 I following a drop in prior year
spending and dropping to 6.5% in 2014 on increased redeveloped activities.

From 201B-2013 we estimate that oil decline
3000 rates (adjusting for outages and growth
projects) averaged ^RN; however 2014 saw a
3400 reduced decline rate of - 6.S% as re developed
projects in Norway began tampon
