The UK government is seeking to boost domestic energy output following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Under the new plan, Shell plans to start production from the field in the second half of 2025.
Energy independence was a major theme of the UK energy strategy announced by Prime Minister Boris Johnson in early April. The plan had been to vent excess gas at an offshore hub to reduce the corrosive CO2 content in the pipes.The UK was one of 100 countries that pledged to cut methane gas emissions by 30% over the next 10 years.It was the Cambo oil field, west of Shetland, that got the attention as world leaders gathered in Glasgow seven months ago to show their commitment to tackling climate change.
Permission to install a tie-back to a nearby platform had been refused last year, on the grounds that production would raise emissions unacceptably.
