PUBLIC NOTICE THE OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION, PRODUCTION, UNLOADING AND STORAGE (ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT) REGULATIONS 2020 Cambo Field Development (Cambo) Siccar Point Energy E&P Limited (SPE) has made an application for consent to the Oil and Gas Authority (“the OGA”) in relation to the above project. Summary of Project The Cambo oil field lies within UKCS Blocks 204/4a, 204/5a, 204/9a and 204/10a, in the West of Shetland region. The proposed development footprint is situated in water depths of between 1,050m in the southeast to 1,100m in the northwest within the Faroe-Shetland Channel. The nearest coast line is the Shetland Islands, located approximately 125 km to the east. The proposed Development lies adjacent to the UK/Faroe Island transboundary line. The subject of the environmental statement comprises a dedicated, moored Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel to produce hydrocarbons from two drill centres (comprising eight new production wells and four water injection wells). Additionally, the Cambo 204/10a-5Y well, drilled as an appraisal well in 2018, will also be completed for production. Oil will be exported via shuttle tanker and gas will be exported via a gas export pipeline (situated at water depths of 1,085m to 190m) extending 70 km to the southeast of the Cambo field, terminating at the West of Shetland Pipeline (WOSPS). The Cambo field is expected to produce oil and gas for approximately 25 years. Offshore development activities are currently due to commence at the Cambo field in 2021, with first drilling operation currently planned in 2022. First oil is expected in 2025. Environmental Impact Assessment and Consent Process In accordance with the above-mentioned Regulations, the project is subject to an environmental impact assessment procedure and regulation 13 applies as the project could have a significant effect on the environment of the Faroe Islands. The OGA is responsible for deciding whether or not to grant consent for the project, but agreement to the grant of consent must be obtained from the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (“the Secretary of State”) prior to consent being granted. The Secretary of State’s decision on whether to agree to the grant of consent is based on the environmental impact assessment for the project. The range of possible decisions in response to the application of consent is: (a) the Secretary of State agrees to the OGA’s grant of consent following the Secretary of State’s conclusion regarding the environmental effects of the project, and the OGA grants consent, so the project may proceed; (b) the Secretary of State refuses to agree to the OGA’s grant of consent following the Secretary of State’s conclusion regarding the environmental effects of the project, so the project may not proceed; or (c) the Secretary of State agrees to the OGA’s grant of consent following the Secretary of State’s conclusion regarding the environmental effects of the project, but the OGA does not grant consent, so the project may not proceed. Where the Secretary of State agrees to the grant of consent, conditions that Siccar Point Energy E&P Limited must comply with may be attached to the agreement, including environmental conditions to avoid, prevent, reduce or offset any significant adverse effects on the environment, and measures to monitor such conditions. Notice of the decisions of the Secretary of State and OGA decisions for the project will be published at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-2020-eia-regulations#environmental-impact-assessments-eia where information on the Secretary of State’s decision to agree to or refuse to agree to the grant of consent will also be made available.
