630 Days and Counting: Martin Copeland on the Political Gridlock Threatening the Future of North Sea

With Martin Copeland, Chief Financial Officer @ Serica Energy plc

In this episode Kenny is joined by Martin Copeland of Serica Energy, the company’s CFO, for a deep-dive conversation covering his 30-year career transition from a banking background in leveraged and M&A finance to his current role in the energy sector.

The discussion focuses on Serica Energy’s strategy for growth through M&A, including the merger with Tailwind and opportunistic acquisitions in the North Sea.

Martin Copeland also shares his perspective on the significant challenges facing the UK oil and gas industry, particularly the impact of the Energy Profits Levy, the political climate in Aberdeen, and the critical need for government approval of new field developments like Rosebank and Jackdaw to restore confidence and activity in the basin.
