Development plans have been announced for an oil field which could produce almost 70,000 barrels of oil a day at its peak.
Norwegian state-controlled Equinor said it 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 environmental campaigners claim it would be a “total betrayal” of climate goals if the UK Government approves the project.
