UK government approves Jackdaw gas field development in North Sea
The UK government has approved development of the Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea, about 150 miles east of Aberdeen, giving the go-ahead for gas production. The approval revives a project whose previous consent was quashed by a Scottish court over its climate impact, following the energy minister saying a decision was imminent and the Scottish government reportedly dropping its opposition to new oil and gas fields.
