"As a result of ongoing extraction in the North Sea, the UK is currently the second largest producer of oil and fossil gas in Europe, producing 452 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) in 2023."
🚨 NEW ANALYSIS: Privately held company ownership of North Sea oil & gas in 2024 is now *8x higher* than it was in 2005.
Increasingly, control of North Sea assets lies with a small group of owners with concentrated interests.
Why does this matter?

Just to emphasize: Saudi Arabia *and only Saudi Arabia* was sent a draft of the COP29 negotiating documents *by the COP presidency* so that Saudi Arabia alone *could edit it directly*.
Man, now Saudi Arabia has apparently been caught editing official COP29 drafts, maybe granted edit access by the COP presidency, Azerbaijan. Rough.
