Controversial #JackdawGasField set to be approved in weeks, sources say
Simon Jack, 3 September 2026
"The #UK government is set to give the go-ahead for a controversial new #GasField off the coast of #Aberdeen, the BBC understands.
"Approval for the Jackdaw project could come in mid-September, just before #Parliament breaks for party conference season, according to government and industry sources.
"The gas field was approved by the former #ConservativeGovernment in 2022 but was delayed by a legal ruling from a #ScottishCourt, after #EnvironmentalGroups argued consent was given without fully considering the #ClimateImpact.
"Jackdaw's owner says it will account for 6% of UK gas output when at peak production but environmental groups say it will provide only 2% of UK use when imports are included.
"Campaigners launched legal challenges after Jackdaw was approved in 2022 and when the #RosebankOilField off #Shetland was given the green light in 2023.
"The Court of Session in Edinburgh ruled last year that #Rosebank and Jackdaw had been unlawfully approved because the government had failed to take into account the climate impact of burning extracted #OilAndGas from the sites.
"A judge ruled that more detailed climate assessments had to be published, and further estimates were put out for consultation in July.
"Both Jackdaw and Rosebank are operated by #Adura, a joint venture between energy giants #ShellOil and Norway's #Equinor. Aberdeen-based firm Ithaca also owns 20% of Rosebank.
"Adura has estimated that Jackdaw could produce 35.8m tonnes of carbon over its 11-year lifetime, the equivalent of 90% of Scotland's emissions for 2023. But it said a more likely estimate was about 23.6m tonnes - equivalent to 60% of the 2023 figure.
" #Environmentalists insist that more #drilling would be unconscionable, hampering efforts to cut planet-warming carbon emissions as deadly #heatwaves and #ExtremeWeather affect billions across the globe.
"They also say starting production would not protect energy security and that transitioning sooner to #GreenerTechnologies would be better for supporting jobs."

My question is: *Is the Govt reading this?*. They should, because the window on legislating bountyful #GasTaxes on the #SuperProfits currently enjoyed by the #GasIndustries is rapidly closing. If #AlboPM keeps going at his #SlugSpeed on this overwhelmingly supported #Tax there will be little to celebrate and Consolidated Revenue will not see its full potential (if Gas Peak hasn’t already gone past us).
The other important question is: *WTF is Labor even considering new #FossilFuel and especially #GasField exploration and #Exploitation licences* (in the NW)? What in blazes is he blind to? Is this a obvious case of #StateCapture by preferential and idiotic treatment? How can the *whole* of govt, the pollies, the public service, the NGOs all be going along with this #Circus ? No detractors to be seen in the halls of power? Could #AlboPM really be pulilng *ALL* the strings? Is everyone with one ounce of *decision-making* authority hell bent on maintaining the current economic *joke* ? If not, then why aren’t we seeing a backbench and crossbench revolt in Partliament. Why aren’t we seeing public information flooding the news medium? Why aren’t we seeing GOvt taken. To Court on their failure of *Duty of Care* ? Class actions filling the Courts’ agenda. The #Greens flooding us with outrage at the inaction we observe and which makes us angry?
I have a lot of questions… and so far, no answers! There has been no better time to see that doing the same thing and expecting better results is either a conspiracy (lead by the #RentierClass and its minions) or wholesale brainwashing of the power elites. WTF will it take for the electorate to demand much *Better* from our representataives?
