MER UK Strategy MER UK Definition Striking the right balance Delivering the maximum overall value from the economic reserves in the UKCS MER UK Principles Maximise net value not just volume Investment should add net value overall UK May oblige companies to redistribute value Companies to see satisfactory expected commercial return on investment Sanctions Rewards Balance extracting all economic reserves and achieving MER across the UK Combining new regulatory powers with a more proactive approach
