Dave Doogan, who is a close ally of SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn, said he is not opposed the oil field off Shetland going ahead.
This is despite the First Minister saying earlier on Wednesday that he was "disappointed" it had been approved by UK regulators.
"The path to net zero is not nearly being developed as quickly as it should be in the United Kingdom under the UK Government and that is having a devastating effect on the transition of jobs from North Sea oil and gas into North Sea offshore renewables." "We recognise the significant contribution the oil and gas sector makes to Scotland. However, our future is not in unlimited oil and gas extraction. It is in accelerating our just transition to renewables. New oil and gas fields being approved risk the pace of that transition.
