    According to World Oil on June 10, this week, the British government and Shell held talks in London to discuss North Sea oil and gas
    .

    Comments by Shell CEO Van Burden and UK Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarten underscored a profound shift in
    energy policy.

    Regulators last week approved Shell's development of the Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea, having previously rejected the project on environmental grounds
    .
    The energy giant also has a stake in the controversial Campo oil development in which it was put on hold last year amid climate protests
    .

    Speaking to employees on 7 June, Van Burden said: "Responsible production, local natural gas plays a vital role
    in the UK's energy security and transition to net zero emissions.
    The full text of the speech is posted on Shell's website
    .

    Kwarteng, who attended the event, said in a LinkedIn post that the UK had to be "realistic" about its energy needs given the surge in commodity prices

    ," Kwarteng said.
