Burnham's Dilemma: The North Sea Oil Industry's Last Ditch Plea The UK Labour government is set to take office soon, with one of its first major decisions being whether to approve new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea.
This decision has far reaching implications for Britain's energy security, industrial competitiveness, and climate goals. At stake are two major projects: Rosebank and Jackdaw.
Both were granted licences under the previous government but remain stalled due to Labour's manifesto pledge to ban new exploration licences.
