U.K. AWARDS LAST OF 16TH ROUND LICENSES
Britain's Department of Trade & Industry has awarded 53 more blocks in its 16th offshore exploration round (17894 bytes) , boosting the total number of block awards under the round to 79. Twenty-six blocks in the West of Shetland exploration hotspot were awarded in May so operators could plan and implement exploration programs during this year's weather window (OGJ, May 29, p. 24). The latest licenses are for acreage in the North Sea and to the west and south of Britain.
