Aberdeen North Sea oil looking promising

Energy giant BP has today announced two new oil and gas discoveries in the North Sea. Tests are being carried out to find out how much is oil and gas is in the new finds. The discoveries, in the Capercaillie and Achmelvich fields, were made in the North Sea west of Shetland after wells were drilled last summer. BP is hoping to double North Sea oil production to 200,000 barrels by 2020. Light oil and gas-condensate was discovered in the Capercaillie well in Paleocene and Cretaceous-age reservoirs.
