Oil field developer vows ‘lowest’ footprint

PLANS have been revealed to develop an oil field which could produce almost 70,000 barrels a day. Norwegian state-controlled Equinor wants to take forward projects such as the Rosebank field, north west of Shetland, with the “lowest possible carbon footprint”. Industry body Offshore Energies UK (OEUK) said it would benefit UK energy security and the Scottish economy, but eco-campaigners say it would be a “total betrayal” of climate goals.
