UK EITI report for 2017 
1. The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative 
The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) is a global standard to 
promote open and accountable management of natural resources. It seeks to 
strengthen Government and company systems, inform public debate and enhance 
trust. To that effect it requires oil, gas and mining companies to disclose their payments 
to Government agencies and for the reconciliation of these payments with Government 
receipts from these companies. In each implementing country, it is supported by a 
coalition of Government, industry and Civil Society organisations working together. 
The EITI was first announced at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in 
Johannesburg in 2002 (the Earth Summit 2002) and was officially launched in 
London in 2003. EITI is currently being implemented in 51 countries around the 
world. 
The EITI Standard sets out the requirements which countries need to meet in order 
to be recognised, first as EITI Candidates and subsequently as an EITI Compliant 
country. The Standard is overseen by the International EITI Secretariat, which 
comprises members from Governments, extractive companies and Civil Society 
organisations. As a stakeholder-led initiative, EITI is overseen in each implementing 
country by a Multi-Stakeholder Group (MSG) comprising representatives from 
industry, Civil Society and Government.

The website also includes further background on UK EITI and the work of the MSG. 
3. The extractive sector in the UK 
The UK’s extractive industries comprise mining and quarrying, including oil and gas. 
The extractive sector has made a sizeable contribution to the UK economy for many 
years and remains an important sector in the UK. In 2017 industry gross value added 
(GVA) was £22.0 billion. Notwithstanding the significant fall in oil prices which 
reached a trough in 2016, extraction of oil and gas and associated support service 
activities accounted for some 83% of the sector’s GVA. 
Oil and Gas sector 
The UK oil and gas industry finds itself at a cross roads. The sector is managing a 
challenging environment and is slowly emerging from one of the most testing global 
downturns it has ever had to face. After the dramatic fall in the global oil price, which 
started in mid-2014 with the trough in January 2016 at $31 per barrel, 2017 saw a 
slight increase in the annual average Brent oil price of $54 per barrel. 
The UK oil and gas industry is in its sixth decade of offshore production. Between 
2014 and 2017, production on the UK Continental shelf (UKCS) increased by over 
15 per cent – a significant achievement given that the basin had previously seen a 
consistent decline in production since 2000. This increased production level derived 
from both improved performance of existing oil and gas fields and the addition of 
capacity from new field start-ups. Production volumes in the next decade, however, 
remain vulnerable unless continuing new investment is attracted to the UKCS. 
The industry continues to transform and reinvent itself. Total operating costs have 
decreased by 30 per cent over the downturn, with the majority of these cost savings 
deemed sustainable in the long-term. Ongoing uncertainty and volatility in 
commodity prices, however, continues to constrain fresh capital commitments, both 
globally and within the UK. Investors continue with a conservative outlook and new 
investments need to break even at prices in the $40 to $50 per barrel region. 2017 
saw a record low level of field approvals and drilling activity, a trend which if 
continued will threaten production levels post-2020 as well as the supply chain’s 
capabilities and resources available to support future activity. This means a real 
concern about the ability of industry to realise its long-term potential and with it the 
wider economic benefit the industry brings to the UK. 
The industry’s profitability continued at a subdued level, with net receipts from taxation 
of £847 million in 2017. The production tax regime has been designed to reflect the 
cash flow of the basin and as such production tax receipts have varied significantly in 
recent years as a result of the downturn in the industry. In recent years, the 
Government, recognising the maturity of the basin, has sought to reduce perceptions 
of fiscal risk and a lack of fiscal competitiveness (to prevent them being barriers to

investment). HM Treasury’s Driving Investment strategy acknowledges the long-term 
investment horizon in the industry and the challenge to keep attracting investors to the 
UK oil and gas industry to enable the industry to recover from the downturn and to 
compete in the global race for investment. 
The UK oil and gas industry supports hundreds of thousands of jobs in Scotland and 
across the rest of the UK. According to latest ONS data, the sector was directly 
responsible for nearly 40,000 jobs in 2017, with many more supported in the 
industry’s wider supply chain and those jobs that depend on the UK’s oil and gas 
industry. It is estimated a total of 280,000 jobs were supported by the UK upstream 
oil and gas industry in 2017, often highly skilled and contributing significantly to the 
Exchequer with multi-billion pounds in employment taxes. 
Whilst cost control and capital discipline remain high on industry’s agenda, the 
ingenuity of the UK oil and gas industry’s people and the communities they work in 
cement the long-standing importance of this industry to the UK’s economy. This is 
not just through the payment of production taxes and licence fees (as disclosed in 
the EITI reconciliation), but also ensuring the UK’s security of energy supply through 
providing more than half of the UK’s oil and gas demand, a significant contribution to 
the balance of payments, as well as the development of technology, innovation and 
skills that cascade out of industry and often support the transition to a lower carbon 
future. 
The Mining and Quarrying Sector 
Construction minerals 
Construction minerals, principally crushed rock and sand and gravel aggregates, 
represent the largest materials flow in the UK. The market for these minerals 
depends upon the level of UK construction activity and longer-term construction-
related demand will depend on a variety of factors. Projected UK population 
increases to 2030 and higher planned investment in infrastructure projects and 
housing suggest a continuing underlying need for construction activity and minerals. 
UK markets for aggregates are largely supplied from UK sources, supplemented by 
substantial of recycled materials (in recent years recycled materials have made up 
an estimated 25% to 30% of the market in England, Wales and Scotland, over twice 
the European average). Therefore, demand for quarried and dredged aggregates is 
likely to remain significant. Geologically the UK has substantial resources of 
construction minerals, which will remain subject to planning and environmental 
approval and permitting before they can be extracted. 
Extraction and downstream manufacturing activities are distributed throughout the 
UK and extraction businesses make a variety of tax, financial and non-financial 
contributions to national and local Governments and local communities which are 
outside the current scope of EITI reporting, including the aggregates levy, 
employment taxes, businesses rates. The industry also supports a significant supply 
chain of plant, equipment and transport suppliers and professional services. 
Other construction-related mineral extraction includes clay for brick-making, 
limestone and chalk for cement-making, the production of high-quality dimension 
stone and slate.

UK EITI report for 2017 
Coal 
Coal continues to have a significant role in the UK’s energy mix. At the end of 2016 
the UK had an estimated 61 million tonnes of coal reserves and resources at 
operating surface and underground mines together with those in the planning 
process, such as the reopening of Haig Colliery in Whitehaven by West Cumbria 
Coal.  In addition, there were some 159 million tonnes of resources in projects at the 
pre-planning stage plus just under 3 billion tonnes of potential resources at identified 
projects developed to various stages in the past 30 years.1 
Industrial and metal minerals 
Future extraction trends for industrial minerals will depend on movements in UK and 
overseas markets and on the competitiveness of operating costs and the business 
environment in the UK. Minerals such as limestone and sand have numerous non-
construction uses ranging from iron and steel and glass making to cleaning acidic 
power station emissions and improving the performance and sustainability of UK 
agriculture. The continuing development of a major new polyhalite mine in the North 
Yorkshire Moors, the reopening of South Crofty Tin mine in Cornwall and the 
significant resource of gold at Curraghinalt2 in Northern Ireland are three examples 
which illustrate the continuing importance of the UK as a mineral producer. 
The English National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states in paragraph 142 
that “Minerals are essential to support sustainable economic growth and our quality 
of life. It is therefore important that there is a sufficient supply of material to provide 
the infrastructure, buildings, energy and goods that the country needs. However, 
since minerals are a finite natural resource, and can only be worked where they are 
found, it is important to make best use of them to secure their long-term 
conservation.”3 
The NPPF also places an obligation on Mineral Planning Authorities to plan for a 
steady and adequate supply of aggregates and industrial minerals. 
Reconciliation Report 
This fourth UK EITI report provides detailed information on and a reconciliation of 
payment streams between companies operating in the UK extractive sector and the 
relevant Government agencies in 2017. This will assist the UK in identifying the 
positive contribution that the extractive sector is making to the economic and social 
development of the country and to realise their potential through improved resource 
governance that encompasses and fully implements the principles and criteria of the 
EITI. 
Revenue streams deemed within scope for UK EITI for 2017 were as follows: 
Oil and gas sector: combined total for Ring-Fence Corporation Tax and 
Supplementary Charge; Petroleum Revenue Tax and Advance Petroleum Revenue

Tax; Petroleum Licence Fees; the OGA Levy; and payments to The Crown Estate 
and Crown Estate Scotland in respect of pipelines operated by companies that are 
engaged in UK extractive activities. 
Mining and Quarrying sector: Corporation Tax; extractive-related payments to the 
Coal Authority; extractive-related payments to The Crown Estate and Crown Estate 
Scotland; and monetary payments to local planning authorities as part of planning 
obligations. 
Continuing to shadow the Reports on Payments to Government Regulations 2014, 
the materiality threshold remained at £86,000, applied to each revenue stream at 
group level. The Government agencies required to report for 2017 UK EITI were 
HMRC, the OGA, The Crown Estate, Crown Estate Scotland and the Coal Authority. 
A total of 39 oil and gas companies and 19 mining and quarrying companies 
participated in compiling the report with continuing high industry participation. The 
MSG is grateful to all those companies which participated in the process this year. 
This report incorporates information collected up to 7 December 2018. Any 
information collected after this date has not been included in the report.

Oil & Gas sector 
Seven companies that initially were sent reporting templates were subsequently 
excluded from the 2017 EITI scope because as part of the reconciliation exercise it 
emerged that they made/received no material payments/repayments during the 
calendar year 2017. 
Seven companies were added to the reconciliation scope when it was realised that 
their payments exceeded the materiality threshold for the calendar year 2017. 
Mining & Quarrying sector 
One company was added to the reconciliation scope when it was realised that its 
payments exceeded the materiality threshold for the calendar year 2017. 
The final number of companies included in the EITI reconciliation scope was 
therefore 62.

UK EITI report for 2017 
Data collection 
Four potentially in-scope companies chose not to submit returns, two from each 
sector. As the total amount reported by Government and extractive companies 
subject to the reconciliation constitutes more than 97 per cent of the total reported by 
Government agencies, the overall reconciliation outcome is substantial and 
satisfactory. 
1.2. Breakdown of Reconciled Data by Company and Sector 
The two tables below set out the detailed results of the reconciliation exercise with 
post-reconciliation differences noted between amounts reported as paid by in-scope 
extractive companies and amounts reported as received by Government Agencies.

There were additional, relatively minor, payments reported by the relevant 
Government Agencies for companies that were in scope but whose payments were 
below the agreed materiality thresholds and for in-scope companies that did not 
participate in the reconciliation process. The totals of such payments are reported in 
the tables in Section 1.1 above and, for petroleum licence fees and the OGA Levy, 
are included in the online disclosure of project level payments and repayments at 
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/extractive-industries-transparency­
initiative-payments-report-2017, which also includes reconciled field level data on 
Petroleum Revenue Tax and project-level payments to TCE. 
Separate to the UK EITI payment reconciliation exercise and complementing the 
information in this report, a number of companies have reported their 2017 payments 
to governments around the world, including to UK government entities, under the EU 
Accounting and Transparency Directives.1
