The OGA has developed an exploration strategy (<a href="https://www.ogauthority.co.uk/news-publications/publications/2016/exploration-strategy/" target="_blank">https://www.ogauthority.co.uk/news-publications/publications/2016/exploration-strategy/</a>), with strong input from the industry and government, which includes working with the industry to enhance exploration investment, integrate exploration into regional development plans, and license underexplored and more mature areas of the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS).</p><p>The Government has also provided £45 million of funding for seismic acquisition programmes in under-explored areas of the UKCS to support this activity.</p><p>In May 2018, the OGA offered for award 123 licences over 229 blocks or part-blocks to 61 companies in the 30th Offshore Licensing Round. These successful awards act as a strong platform for future exploration and production across the UKCS and can help transform exploration activity levels.</p>

answer text <p>Exiting the EU without a deal would be in neither side’s interests. We remain confident the UK and the EU will agree a mutually advantageous deal where people right across Europe benefit from liberal aviation market access. We are working hard to secure this outcome.</p><p> </p><p>However, a responsible government should prepare for all potential outcomes, including the unlikely scenario in which no mutually satisfactory agreement can be reached. We are working with the UK Civil Aviation Authority to prepare and equip the UK to be ready for a non-negotiated exit.</p><p>There has been cross-government engagement with key stakeholders across the aerospace sector since the referendum, which has informed and will continues to inform our thinking.</p><p> </p><p>Being outside the EU will not change the UK’s approach to aviation safety. We are absolutely clear that the UK will continue to be a world leader in this field.</p> more like this
