The green light to develop one of the largest untapped oil and gas fields in british waters. Rosebank lies in the north sea, about 80 miles west of shetland. Experts say it contains about 350 Million Barrels of oil. Production could start in 2026, with extraction continuing until at least 2030. Its thought that about 69,000 barrels of oil could be produced every day. That would equate to about 8 of the uks total output. There would also be natural gas, with about 44 million cubic feet produced per day during the projects lifetime. The Energy Secretary Clare Coutinho says. The news has not gone down well with climate campaigners. Heres tessa khan, executive director of uplift, a group that has been working to stop Rosebank Being opened up for oil and gas production. I think we need to be clear that this is a huge mistake on economic grounds, on Energy Security grounds and on Climate Grounds and the uk public do not stand to benefit from this field.

And is thought to contain 500 Million Barrels of oil, which makes it the uks largest untapped oil field. The plan has faced widespread criticism. Last month, 50 mps and peers from all major parties raised concerns the oilfield could produce 200 Million Tonnes of carbon dioxide. So, the oil and gas that we get out of rosebank, it will be mostly oil because that is mostly what is left in the north sea. That wont be owned by the British Public or the government, it will be owned by the company that gets it out of the ground, the oil and Gas Companies, and they will simply sell it to the highest bidder. So there is no guarantee that that oil and gas will end up in the uk, so theres no guarantee that it will help to lower our bills.
