UK North Sea Jackdaw and Rosebank approvals hinge on policy stability

The UK government faces a decision on approving the Jackdaw and Rosebank oil and gas fields, with nearly £11bn in private investment at stake. Years of policy instability and drilling restrictions have undermined investor confidence, making this decision a test of Britain's energy investment climate. Approval would signal a shift toward energy security, but the broader regulatory environment remains uncertain.
