Sanctioned the drilling excellent news for skilled labour.

Drilling by a Norwegian company with mainly Norwegian crews.

Seems like the only benefit to the UK is a bit of tax revenue down the line.

Bonkers.

probably a massive upgrade of shetland processing plant needed too

 

[Nero]

None of the crude likely to be processed on Shetland, or even used in the UK.

I don’t know the details but I would imagine Equinor are planning an FPSO and tanker operation.

no doubt we will be charging them fook all for the pleasure of extracting it

Giving them massive tax breaks. You couldn't make it up.

Developing Rosebank oil field ‘wrong decision’, says Scottish First Minister

Developers Equinor and Ithaca Energy have been given consent to start developing the controversial oil and gas field.

This surely has to be the most comical response from the SNP’s Hamza Yassin. The SNP, the party against oil exploration, but want independence . What would the SNP create an economy around exporting biscuits & Whiskey?

Haven’t we been drilling for oil for decades in the North Sea? Why is it suddenly an act of environmental destruction

First well was drilled in 1965

Don’t be fooled by the southern wishy washy lefts telling you it’s bad for the climate. The developing countries are burning fossils ten fold. This is a fraction of their co2 releases.
The local economy (Teesside) depends on the O&G sector. The money in the renewables is just not there.

Like I say, decades. Six of them!

Yeah listen to those with a vested interest in it, they're sure to be unbiased.

 

[ThePrisoner]

Bunging the O&G companies a billion then selling it to the public on a lie that it will be British oil for British cars

That's because this shambles of a government won't put the money where it needs to go.

It always was, but not universally recognised as such.

Yes true. I suppose digging stuff out of eston hills was probably the same, but then none of us would be here!

Some of the gas may well come ashore in the UK (St Fergus). I did a study on the sub-sea tie-in a few years ago. Although St Fergus is in Scotland, that terminal is operated by a Teesside based company.

Can't remember the full details as not at work at the minute but there's a conversion of an FPSO being carried out in Dubai. There'll be a permanent manned rig and an unmanned drilling rig planned. What a lot of people don't take into account with some of these works being carried out abroad is there's a lot of UK people employed on these projects. They bring their hard earned money back into the UK and spend it here. Its a shame that these projects can't be built here but it's not an entire loss to the economy.
