Harbour is launching a review of its UK operations, which we expect to result in a reduction of around 250 onshore roles in our Aberdeen-based business unit,” Scott Barr, the managing director for Harbour Energy’s UK business unit, said in a statement sent to Rigzone late Wednesday.
“The review is unfortunately necessary to align staffing levels with lower levels of investment, due mainly to the government’s ongoing punitive fiscal position and a challenging regulatory environment,” he added.
In the statement, Barr said the company is also reviewing the resourcing required to support its Viking carbon capture and storage project, “where progress beyond front-end engineering design and the recent securing of a Development Consent Order has been hindered by repeated delays to the government’s Track 2 process.
