Tim Watkins, the bloke that writes the doom articles, reported last year and this that auctions of oil and gas licences flopped. The energy cost of energy for what's left in the N Sea and the Atlantic is too high.

I remember that the energy contracts that Russia had with Germany et al. were supposed to be put in the spot market too but the Russians wouldn't have it, because it was a blatant manoeuvre to enrich middlemen at the expense of the supplier and user.
