Daily onshore oil and gas production rates rose slightly in September 2025, compared with the month before.
The contribution of onshore oil and gas to total UK production, though still very small, rose for the second consecutive month.
Both oil and gas volumes fell in September, compared with August, probably because of the shorter month.
