The future of North Sea oil production

Robert Peston travels 170 miles off the coast of Aberdeen to visit the 'Gryphon' - a huge floating mobile platform - which is helping transform how oil and gas is brought ashore.

The ship uses the latest technology to extract the up to 24 million estimated barrels of oil and gas still believed to be in the North Sea, ensuring it remains a viable source of income for decades to come.
