Background

Zennor Petroleum Limited was awarded the licenses containing Leverett in May 2018. In 2021, NEO Energy acquired Zennor and became the operator of Leverett. HitecVision, a private equity investor, owns NEO Energy.[5][6]

Leverett is being developed as a tie-back to the Britannia Oil and Gas Field (United Kingdom).[7] As of April 2022, Offshore Technology expected FID to be reached for Leverett within 2022, production to commence in 2025, and the field to produce hydrocarbons through 2057.[6]

Leverett is one of the fields Friends of the Earth called out in 2021 as ignoring the guidance of the IEA’s Net Zero by 2050 report. FOE estimated total lifecycle emissions from the field at 15 MtCo2e.[8]
