For decades, Aberdeen, a port city on Scotland's northeast coast, has served as the commercial gateway to the North Sea, where powerful companies have navigated deep and dangerous waters to extract tens of billions of barrels of crude.
But the basin isn't what it used to be, even with oil back above $80 per barrel. Production has been on the decline since the turn of the century.
