Adura seeks renewed approval for Jackdaw and Rosebank fields after a UK court overturned prior permits in January 2025.
Adura has submitted additional details to the UK Offshore Petroleum Regulator for Environment and Decommissioning (OPRED) for its Jackdaw and Rosebank oil and gas projects. The move follows a January 2025 court ruling that invalidated the UK government’s prior approvals, citing legal challenges from environmental groups.
The projects, with over £3bn invested to date, are expected to generate £28.7bn in gross value added over their lifespans. Adura forecasts tax revenues of £1.4bn by the end of the current parliament and £3.8bn by 2034, with peak annual tax contributions exceeding £720m.
Employment projections include 3,500 jobs at peak construction and 880 sustained roles during production, alongside 125 apprenticeships across the UK.
