Preliminary estimates indicated recoverables of between 30 million and 110 million BOE at the discoveries, which Equinor called its largest of the year.
The decision keeps the effective tax rate on upstream projects at 78%, prompting new warnings that investments will continue to dwindle in the UK Continental Shelf.
Adura will become the UK North Sea’s largest independent producer by combining 12 key oil and gas assets, employing around 1,200 staff. It aims to produce more than 140,000 BOED in 2026.
