Shell’s revised plan to develop a North Sea natural gas field has been approved
Britain’s regulator on Wednesday approved Shell’s revised plan to develop a North Sea natural gas field as the government seeks to boost domestic energy output following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
British business minister Kwasi Kwarteng said the Jackdaw gas field had received final regulatory approval after it was initially rejected on environmental grounds last October. Reuters last week reported that Britain’s Offshore Petroleum Regulator for Environment and Decommissioning was poised to approve the field’s new environmental development plans, a major milestone for a new development.Environmental group Greenpeace said it believed the permit approval “could be unlawful, and will consider taking legal action.”
