27th Seaward Licensing Round
27th Round Appropriate Assessment
Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail
The Appropriate Assessments of blocks applied for in the 27th Offshore Oil and Gas Licensing Round have now been issued for public consultation.
An initial screening assessment (including consultation with the statutory agencies/bodies) was published on the 23rd October 2012, and identified a number of whole or part Blocks as requiring further assessment prior to decisions on whether to grant licences under the 27th Round. Because of the wide distribution of these Blocks around the UKCS, the Appropriate Assessments (AA) in respect of each potential licence award are contained in seven regional reports.
- Southern North Sea
- Outer Moray Firth
- Central North Sea
- West of Shetland
- Northern Ireland
- Eastern Irish Sea
- Central English Channel
