The UK Government is expected to make a final decision on the Rosebank and Jackdaw oil fields, with Kemi Badenoch saying it should be taken as soon as possible. The outlet reporting adds that consultations on both projects have already concluded, leaving the next step with ministers.

According to the accounts, discussions with stakeholders at both sites close in recent weeks. With those consultations now finished, the decision moves to the UK Government rather than any further public engagement. The reporting frames Badenoch’s position as focused on pace, while not detailing the specific outcome the government is leaning toward.

Across the sources, the core point is that timing becomes the key issue: consultations have ended, and a final government ruling on whether and how the Rosebank and Jackdaw projects proceed is now awaited.
