Shell's Jackdaw gas field given go-ahead by regulators
"Let's source more of the gas we need from British waters to protect energy security." Under the new plan, Shell plans to start production from the field in the second half of 2025.The oil and gas company said the approval came "At a time when UK energy security is critically required." The main focus was investing in renewable and nuclear power but it also promised new licences for gas projects in the North Sea arguing that producing gas in UK waters has a lower carbon footprint than doing so abroad.It is understood that Shell has changed the way it processes natural gas before it brings it onshore. Under the new plan Shell will bring a higher percentage of gas ashore. Jackdaw, a gas field close to existing infrastructure, was what Shell describes as a "Vanilla" project - relatively, very straight forward.
