A different way to think about whether it's worth getting oil of out of the ground:
"#Oil in the #NorthSea is expected to be net-energy negative by 2031. This means that in 2031, it’ll cost more energy to extract the fossil fuels than we would gain by using them, rendering extraction unfeasibly expensive.
Globally, it will cost more energy to extract oil than we would gain from using it before the end of the 2030s."
"The UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Denmark – have failed to align their oil and gas policies with their climate promises under the Paris agreement.
Policies in #Norway and the #UK were furthest from the Paris climate agreement because the countries were “aggressively” exploring and licensing new oil and gas fields."
North Sea Oil and Gas Firms Continue Drilling Despite Climate Goals
"Instead of leading the world in a shift away from #FossilFuels to renewable alternatives, five of the world’s richest countries and proponents of a green transition continue to support oil and gas production in the #NorthSea."
