Rosebank shows the UK's offshore oil regulator no longer serves the public good

Retrieved on: 
Monday, October 2, 2023

In a four-line statement announcing the approval of the new Rosebank oil field 80 miles west of Shetland, the UK’s offshore oil and gas regulator showed its mission no longer serves the public good.

Key Points: 
  • In a four-line statement announcing the approval of the new Rosebank oil field 80 miles west of Shetland, the UK’s offshore oil and gas regulator showed its mission no longer serves the public good.
  • This has outraged and dismayed climate scientists, campaigners, and the many other people concerned about the UK’s faltering climate leadership.
  • The approval greenlights a process that is expected to produce first oil by 2026, and around 300 million barrels of oil (and a smaller amount of gas) over the next two decades.
  • The thing is, like other North Sea oil fields yet to be approved, Rosebank was licensed for oil and gas extraction years ago.

End ‘maximising economic recovery’

    • The core objective of the NSTA is to maximise the economic recovery of UK petroleum – a principle shorthanded as MER – as set out in the 1998 Petroleum Act.
    • In practice, this means the regulator’s primary mission is to facilitate the extraction of oil and gas.
    • A revised strategy in 2021 paired MER with an obligation to support the UK’s net zero commitments.
    • Regulation aims to avoid economic, environmental and social harms, and ensure the public good through delivering collective benefits and upholding socially-desirable ideals.

Rewrite the Petroleum Act

    • Piecemeal adaptation has left MER and other core regulatory principles untouched, which is at odds with the climate emergency.
    • What’s more, as a litmus test for approval, Rosebank indicates other licensed projects may get the go-ahead, like Cambo.
    • Removing NSTA’s central objective to maximise economic recovery requires nothing less than a rewrite of the Petroleum Act.
    • Rosebank exposes, however, how the new mission of the offshore regulator has to be about securing a new public good.
