In this episode of Wind, Waves & Wells, I sit down with Mark Lappin, a veteran of the energy industry with more than 40 years of experience across the North Sea and around the world.
Mark has worked across oil and gas, power generation, and renewables, including time at Centrica. He is now Chairman of North Sea exploration company Deltic Energy and remains actively involved in the UK energy debate.
We talk about the realities of energy policy, the future of the North Sea, and why the conversation around the energy transition has become increasingly polarised.
We also discuss:
• Whether politicians really understand how the North Sea basin works
• The gap between falling production and ongoing demand
• Energy security and domestic resources
• Jobs, communities, and the offshore workforce
• The role of oil and gas during the transition
Drawing on decades of experience in the sector, Mark shares a pragmatic perspective on how the UK can balance energy security, jobs, emissions, and the path towards net zero.
