The decision of the ministry is divided on the controversial project of Rosebank oilfield. The approval of the controversial project of Rosebank oilfield was rejected by the UK government, with the energy minister, Miatta Fahnbulleh, expressing preference for its approval, while the prime minister, Boris Johnson, supports its rejection. The Rosebank oilfield is a controversial project that has sparked further opposition after obtaining authorization for the mini-giardino Jackdaw gasfield.

The Rosebank oilfield was supported by former Prime Minister David Cameron but is now rejected by the government. The UK government stated that the decision should be judged 'in line with its characteristics' and should be 'consistent with our climate goals, carbon policies, and final objective towards zero-zero carbon.' It added that if the project were rejected, it would have a negative impact on the UK's oil industry in the North and would be a significant victory for climate change campaigns. The government's officials have stated that they expect Boris Johnson, the prime minister, to provide a 'final decision' before the 2026 election.

Additionally, the government officials have said that they expect parties interested in the project to provide a 'big pushback' if the project is approved, but many of the parliamentarians are ready to accept the reasons why Jackdaw was necessary in the process of transitioning to zero-zero carbon.
