Apparently Britain needs oil money to not need oil. The UK has re-approved the North Sea Arav gas field, with production expected to start at the end of October. At peak, this could supply 1.4 million homes, cover ~4% of UK gas demand and reduce reliance on expensive imports. Originally approved in 2022, its approval was revoked in 2025 due to emissions concerns. Tax revenues will help fund the UK's transition to green energy.
