‘Climate-wrecking’ exploration of the Rosebank oil and gas field must be halted, say Scot Greens
THE government has been urged to halt the “climate-wrecking exploration” in the Rosebank oil and gas field.
Rosebank, which is in the north-west of Shetland, is the biggest undeveloped oil and gas field in the North Sea and could produce almost 70,000 barrels of oil each day at its peak.
Norwegian state-controlled company Equinor has submitted proposals to Westminster to begin production at the site, predicted to have some 500 million barrels of oil.
