The UK's annual Digest of Energy Statistics was released today, and a nice summary document has been published as well – plenty of well-presented, interesting charts showing UK energy trends.

Yes, the reserves are falling rapidly, but reserves and achievable flows are not related - for the UK it is the rapidly slowing profitable/affordable flows that are important. Gas looks to be a bigger problem than oil! :-(

I'll bet that many of the reserves that the UK government thinks will be produced soon may actually take quite a while (if ever) to recover.

This is my favourite chart from the BERR reports.
