Equinor and partner Shell have received final UK government approval to begin production at the Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea. Gas could begin reaching homes and businesses in the UK as early as the end of October, supporting regional energy security.
The development has been the subject of debate. The approval marks a significant step for Equinor’s operations in the UK Continental Shelf and allows the partners to advance a project that will contribute to the UK’s domestic energy supply.
