The UK economy could lose about £10.8 billion if the Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas projects are not approved, according to a new study referenced by multiple outlets. The report links the figure to broader economic impacts of delaying or rejecting the developments.
The warnings come as the UK government continues to consider whether to proceed with the two projects. The companies’ role is also highlighted: Adura, described in one report as being behind both developments, is said to have commissioned the updated research used to reach the estimate. Outlets present the study as a potential cost assessment, while the underlying issue remains unresolved—whether the government will approve the projects and when.
Taken together, the coverage focuses less on the projects’ technical details and more on the economic question raised by the report, with all sources pointing to the same headline figure and the same status: decisions on Rosebank and Jackdaw have not yet been made.
