What ties together Rosebank, Green Volt and the NSTA's latest report?

Rosebank and Jackdaw approval speculation was back in the news this week as Andy Burnham got ready to travel to Scotland. The latest suggestion was Adura's two pending projects would get the green light on Thursday, but that was quickly quashed by those familiar with the matter. This came soon after Green Volt partner Flotation Energy confirmed job cuts amid speculation that investor Vårgrønn planned to step away from the project, which was awarded a lease in the 'targeted oil and gas' bucket of the INTOG leasing round. Finally, the UK regulator patted operators on the back for slashing their emissions as it admitted electrification was maybe not the way to go for producing assets, particularly in the Central North Sea.

Industry woes mount as energy direction unclear

This week, the Conservative Party Conference swung back around and while spare seats were easy to find, the energy debate was as lively as ever. While consensus on nuclear grows everywhere but at SNP HQ, could nuclear be forced upon Scotland if the Tories reclaim power? As the nuclear debate deepens in Scotland, Ryan Duff and Michael Behr also break down the woes of the floating offshore wind sector and why the sector isn’t developing as quickly as hoped. On the international stage, E-FWD editor Ed Reed walks us through the latest on the Middle East crisis driving up energy prices. Is it also opening new opportunities?

Can GB Energy be stretched further?

This week prime minister Andy Burnham announced a new £4 billion arm of Great British Energy, GB Grid. But can the state-owned firm afford to see that big a chunk taken out of its budget? This came soon after Simon Roddy, chief executive of GB Energy-Nuclear, another wing of GBE that was tacked on after the firm opened its doors, spoke to Out Lout about how Scotland can get in on the UK's reactor roll-out, even if no new stations are set to open north of the border. Reabold Resources continued its pursuit of Union Jack Oil, despite its books indicating finances weren't the best as our reporters discussed floating wind and how it's set to fair ahead of a conference in Aberdeen and Peterson boss Sarah Moore claimed fought the corner of the North Sea Futures board as she argued it's "not an echo chamber".

Does Britain have the gas to get through the winter?

Gastech has been and gone, Ed Reed is back from Bangkok, and now the question that needs to be answered is will the UK have enough gas to get it through the winter. The UK had a close call with a blackout over the summer and now it must think about heating and gas fired power stations, LNG will be a point of contention as global supply remains constrained. This happened as GB Energy opened its doors in Aberdeen and Michael Shanks gave insight into the Jackdaw and Rosebank approval process while Scottish energy minister Stephen Gethins offered clarity on delivery of Holyrood's energy strategy.

Is Net Zero Dead?

Net Zero, it's a term that has garnered political and social opposition over the past few years, and now the UK government aims to abandon the term, but not its principle. This week, Dave Lord reported on conclusions made by the Energy Security and Net Zero committee that recommended the government distanced itself from the words 'net zero' and instead should focus on the tangible impacts of decarbonisation. This happened as a discussion began as to whether UK energy project operators should be forced to sell up to 20% ownerhip to community groups, the offshore sector looked ahead to the budget, and Audit Scotland questioned what Holyrood was doing with all of that ScotWind money.
