Drilling to begin at major North Sea oil field
A UK energy company is to start drilling at the biggest oil field discovered in the North Sea for at least 20 years in spite of a net zero crackdown on the industry. EnQuest plans to start production at two fields that have the potential to produce 500m barrels of crude over coming decades. The sites, adjacent to Kraken oil and gas field, 80 miles east of Shetland, will reignite the political battle over the North Sea’s future. Labour has threatened to block new production, citing environmental concerns.
