The Supreme Court ruling on our case was clear: developers must provide "comprehensive and high-quality information about the likely significant environmental effects of a project". Equinor has not done this.
The Secretary of State cannot grant consent on the basis of this misleading statement.

We say they used a faulty approach to assessing the significance of the scope 3 emissions.
They failed to assess the effects on things like biodiversity and human health.
And they failed to consider the cumulative effects with all the other existing and planned oil and gas sites

Every year, millions of tonnes of methane are vented, burned, and leaked from UK onshore oil sites. Most fields use ancient, leaky equipment. They are severely underregulated.
The Methane Action Plan is a good start, but we need mandatory methane regulations for the onshore fossil fuel industry.
