Yeah get sovereignty back... so we can get screwed some more by red white and blue and all the other colours that have ever held power over us.
Incidentally the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund story was squirreled away in a very small snippet deep in the pages of my beloved local rag. Obviously hoping we didn't see it, as if we weren't aware!
Anyway, west of Shetland does appear to be gaining interest, especially along the Rona Ridge. Have Hurricane hit the jackpot? Only time will tell if the initial excitement is well-founded. I see the FPSO Aoki Mizu is being renovated in Dubai (or is about to be), to be stationed on the Lancaster discovery some time 2018/9.
As you say Porrohman, kind of flies in the face of the 10yr forecast, albeit 'N.Sea' is also these days regarded as a 'catch-all' phrase for the entire UKCS, including the Atlantic margin such as west of Shetland.
