The Greater Buchan Area (GBA) partners have been granted an extension for the deadline to submit a field development plan (FDP) for their Verbier asset. The regulator, the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA), granted the extension ahead of the initial deadline, which was set for 29 August. This brings the deadline for an FDP for Verbier to the same day as that set for Buchan Horst’s planning documents. Ryan Duff is Aberdeen features lead at Energy Voice.
