Rosebank Oilfield

Question

What steps he plans to take in relation to the Rosebank oil field.

The consent to develop the Rosebank oilfield was deemed unlawful by the courts. The developer will need to reapply for consent, including an assessment of emissions from burning the fuel produced. We will produce guidance on the environmental assessment of those emissions in due course.
