Jackdaw and Rosebank projects are presented as crucial for enhancing UK energy security through increased domestic oil and gas production. These projects are projected to stimulate billions in investment and create thousands of jobs across the UK's offshore supply chain. Continued North Sea production is argued to decrease import reliance and maintain vital engineering skills necessary for renewable energy sectors. The author poses a direct choice for ministers: produce more oil and gas domestically, or import more, which is more expensive and generates higher emissions. Despite the urgency of climate action, the UK will require oil and gas for years to come, meeting approximately 75 percent of its current energy needs. Jackdaw alone could significantly contribute to the UK's gas supply, heating millions of homes. The economic benefits are substantial, with considerable investment already made and significant future contributions expected in economy and tax revenues. Approving these projects would also signal the UK as a credible investment destination and support a vast supply chain network. It is argued that halting domestic production will lead to increased imports, weakening industrial capacity and skilled workforces. Furthermore, domestic production emissions are significantly lower than imported liquefied natural gas. Approving Jackdaw and Rosebank would unlock further North Sea investment, securing jobs, tax revenues, and energy security. Ultimately, supporting North Sea production during the transition is framed as a responsible strategy for achieving net zero, not a retreat from it.
