Siem-Day

On Aug 24, 2021, Greenpeace activists protested against the 'Siem Day'p in Randaberg harbour. Fossil fuel firms have delayed the installation of oil drilling kit in UK waters after two Greenpeace kayakers protested next to the ship. The campaigners argued that opening any new oil field is incompatible with reaching net zero emissions by 2050, citing International Energy Agency analysis. Siccar Point, which is developing the field in partnership with Shell, has held a licence for a block in the North Atlantic since 2001 and carried out test drilling in the Cambo field. It is awaiting consent from the UK Oil and Gas Authority to start full operations, aiming to extract 170 million barrels of oil. On Aug 5, Petrofac issued a notice to mariners saying it would install equipment related to oil drilling in the Cambo oil field. Installation of the three CAN-ductors would start on Aig 25 and last ten days. The offshore support vessel arrived at Randaberg harbour on Aug 21 and set sail for the “Cambo field” on Aug 26 at 10.25 a.m. Report with photo and video: https://www.climatechangenews.com/2021/08/25/uk-oil-construction-postponed-kayakers-stop-cambo-protest/
