Data was provided to Reuters by the field operator or an equity partner in the project. Average oil output is according to Norwegian Petroleum Directorate for 2005, the UK's Department of Trade and Industry or from operators themselves.

Most operators declined to give any details on maintenance plans for the UK sector of the North Sea.

Only fields with more than 20,000 barrels per day of average output have been listed, unless operators have disclosed specific outage information.
