Energy — UK PM-DESIGNATE BURNHAM TO FAST-TRACK NORTH SEA OIL & GAS DRILLING

BullishEnergy

Incoming UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham is set to accelerate drilling at existing North Sea oil and gas fields, reversing his predecessor's policy.

The move signals a significant shift in energy policy amid security concerns linked to the war in Iran.
