Controversial North Sea oilfield project suspended
London (AFP) Dec 10, 2021
A controversial oilfield project opposed by environmentalists off the Scottish coast has been paused, operator Siccar Energy said Friday, one week after partner Royal Dutch Shell signalled its exit. Siccar, which owns a majority 70-percent holding in the Cambo project, said in a statement it would now "evaluate next steps" in the proposed development that has been long opposed by activists.
