North Sea gas production to rise after Jackdaw launch

On October 21, the UK will approve the development of the Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea, which will increase gas production in the coming weeks. This was reported by The Times.

Energy Minister Miatta Fanbullé and Finance Minister John Healey will announce in Aberdeen that they will receive an environmental permit. Production is planned to begin before the end of December.

The development of the fields Jackdaw and Rosebank approved in 2022-2023 under the conservative government. However, in 2025, the projects were suspended after a court decision in Edinburgh: the owners did not provide full details of possible environmental damage.

Jackdaw is the largest known undeveloped gas field in the country. After reaching full capacity, it will be able to provide up to 6% of gas production in the North Sea. The solution should strengthen energy security and create jobs, but will draw criticism from environmentalists. Labour has previously promised not to issue new oil and gas licences, but Jackdaw is not considered a new field.
