UK onshore oil and gas production in figures and charts – July 2025

By Ruth Hayhurst on October 8, 2025

UK onshore gas production fell to its lowest level in July 2025 since November 2023.

Onshore daily oil production was the lowest for nine months. Monthly oil volume increased slightly in July compared with June but it was by less than would have been expected for the longer month.
