Rosebank, the UK’s largest known untapped oilfield, is at the centre of a question over whether the project will receive approval from the UK government. The field is located in the North Atlantic, off Scotland.
Scotland editor James Cook has visited the Rosebank site to examine the oilfield and the issue surrounding its possible development. The visit focuses on whether the UK is preparing to give the project the green light.
The material available identifies Rosebank as a large, currently untapped oilfield, but does not state whether approval has been granted or provide details of any final government decision. The latest position, based on the supplied information, is therefore that the question of whether Rosebank will be approved remains unresolved.
