uk refineries would be an option for rosebank crude.ype of oil is compatible with our refineries in the uk, but i think it is fair to say that crude from the uk is routinely exported, often to other refineries in north west europe. but i think the key point is that regardless of rosebank, the uk will remain a net importer of hydrocarbons going forward. it's really the dynamic between the import and export of crude and petroleum products that really shifts. and obviously the more crude that we produce, then that balance moves a little bit more in the uk's favour. the other thing i think to say is just the more you can increase domestic supply, the more control and overall security you will have within these shores. so do you think as well, i mean, the question of energy security has been on everyone's minds for a while now after what happened with russia and ukraine. there will be more of these decisions, potentially more of these projects coming down the line now as western countries try and get a bit more security over their energy. it

even energy industry bodies can see rosebank . industry bodies can see rosebank will do little if anythinglower prices, but is there a positive economic impact? yes, says the government and the other partner in the project. it's an eight billion pound investment in the uk over the life bank of rosebank. that's a huge amount ofjob creation and a huge amount ofjob creation and a huge amount ofjob creation and a huge amount of tax revenue for the you talk about communities living in scotland and across the uk that will benefit from investment. countries by and large, like it when there are large investment of infrastructure and scale in theirjurisdiction, and this is a large investment, so there is benefits for the uk. but this is a large investment, so there is benefits for the uk.— is benefits for the uk. but the benefits are _ is benefits for the uk. but the benefits are hotly _ is benefits for the uk. but the benefits are hotly disputed. i is benefits for the uk. but the - benefits are hotly disputed. there is no real economic _ benefits are hotly disputed. there is no real economic profi

rosebank lies in the north sea, about 80 miles west of shetland. it contains about 350 million barrels of oil. production could start in 2026, with extraction continuing until at least 2030. it's thought that about 69,000 barrels of oil could be produced every day. that would equate to about 8% of the uk's total output. there would also be natural gas, with about 44 million cubic feet produced per day during the project's lifetime. the energy secretary clare coutinho says... the news has not gone down well with climate campaigners. here's tessa khan, executive director of uplift, a group that has been working to stop rosebank being opened up for oil and gas production. i think we need to be clear that this is a huge mistake on economic grounds, on energy security grounds and on climate grounds and the uk public do not stand to benefit from this field. with me is our business editor simonjack and our political correspondent hannah miller. hannah, iwant hannah, i want to start with you. affirm statements from the conservative party committing to this

rosebank — the controversial offshore oilfield — gets the green light. critics say it will cost the taxpayer millions and cause huge environmental damage. and, amazon's in hot water, with us regulators accusing it of having a monopoly which prevents rivals from lowering prices. welcome to world business report. i'm marc ashdown. let's start here in the uk, where the controversial rosebank offshore development near shetland has been granted consent by regulators. development and production approval has been given to owners equinor and ithaca energy, following reassurances over environmental concerns. the rosebank field is located 80 miles west of shetland, and is thought to contain 500 million barrels of oil, which makes it the uk's largest untapped oil field. the plan has faced widespread criticism. last month, 50 mps and peers from all major parties raised concerns the oilfield could produce 200 million tonnes of carbon dioxide. so, the oil and gas that we get out of rosebank, it will be mostly oil because that is mostly what is left in the north sea. t

rosebank is in the north sea about 100 30 kilometers west of shetland.ts say it contains 350 elgin barrels of oil and production could start in 2026 with extraction continuing until at least 2030. it is thought 69,000 barrels of oil could be produced every day, 8% of the uk's total output. there would also be natural gas, 44 million cubic feet produced each day during the lifetime of the project. the energy secretary said we will need oil and gas on the path to net zero so it makes sense to use our own supplies from north sea fields. the jobs will enable us to have greater energy independence. here is the view of scotland's first minister who opposes it. >> this is the wrong decision to be made and i have expressed my concerns going ahead for quite some time. most reasonable people are in our position. we do not think the cap should be turned off but nor is the north sea and unlimited oil -- oil and gas extraction. we have invested in transitioning workers to renewables. and that is one path i am commitd to in this latest development. this is just anothe
