Background

The field was discovered in 2005 by the initial exploration well and appraised between 2007 and 2012.[14]

A final investment decision was initially expected by the end of 2020 with the start of production anticipated in 2024; however, the FID was deferred to 2021 due to the decrease in oil prices triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic.[14][15] In 2021, Shell submitted initial plans for the development of the field which were rejected in October of 2021 by the U.K. Offshore Petroleum Regulator for Environment and Decommissioning (OPRED) on environmental grounds.[16] An updated development proposal, submitted in March, was approved by OPRED in June of 2022.[17] Shell reached FID in July 2022.[18]

The field is expected to begin producing in the second half of 2025, production is forecast to peak in 2026, and is predicted to continue until the field reaches its economic limit in 2048.[17][19]

Opposition

Since its approval by OPRED in June of 2022, the project has encountered significant opposition from community and environmental groups. Climate experts and activists expressed anger over the final regulatory approval for the project.[20] In June 2022, the Stop Jackdaw campaign was formed, and activists held protests outside of government offices in London and Edinburgh to demand the government reverse its decision.[20][21] In July of 2022, Greenpeace lodged a legal challenge against the UK government over the OPRED approval, stating that the government has not considered the total lifecycle emissions from the field and the associated impact on global warming.[22][23]

Ownership

The field is operated by Shell UK; Shell UK is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shell plc.[24] The field is owned by BG International Limited (74%) and ONE-Dyas E&P Limited (26%).[25] Shell acquired 100% of BG International Limited in February 2016.[18] ONE-Dyas E&P Limited is a subsidiary of ONE-Dyas B.V.[26], which is 49% owned by SHV and 51% owned by ONH BV.[27]
