英国政府已批准海上气田杰克道（Jackdaw）开始生产，这结束了一个漫长的审批程序，并允许壳牌与挪威国家石油公司（Equinor）的合资企业阿杜拉（Adura）在数周内开始运营。
The British government has given the green light for production at the offshore gas field Jackdaw to begin, bringing an end to a protracted approvals process and allowing Shell and Equinor joint venture Adura to begin operations within weeks.
杰克道项目此前一直陷入法律纠纷中，并等待政府的最终批准已有一段时间。随着全球冲突凸显了该国对能源冲击的脆弱性，新任英国首相安迪·伯恩姆（Andy Burnham）承诺对北海的新钻探采取“务实”态度，这让人看到了取得进展的希望。
The Jackdaw project has been entangled in legal disputes and awaiting final government approval for some time. Hopes for progress were raised when new U.K. Prime Minister Andy Burnham promised a “pragmatic” approach to new drilling in the North Sea after global conflicts highlighted how vulnerable the country is to energy shocks.
