On BBC One Scotland at 22:45 this evening (Wed 4th June) Hayley Millar explores the history and future of North Sea oil and reasons for the recent run up in the oil price in the documentary Truth, Lies, Oil and Scotland.

Watch a clip here.

On BBC Two, Newsnight Scotland (23:00) will host a live debate on Peak Oil featuring an interview with Chris Skrebowski and discussion with Bill Jamieson (Executive Editor of The Scotsman) and Euan Mearns (Editor of The Oil Drum Europe).

These transmissions are on the Scottish regional versions of BBC One and Two, but anyone with a satellite receiver in the UK should be able to find the Scottish versions on Sky channels 971 and 990.

UK oil production peaked at 2.9 million barrels per day in 1999 and now stands at 1.6 million barrels per day. This is below UK oil consumption levels making the UK an oil importer.
