Harbour Energy’s UK business unit managing director, Scott Barr, said: “The safe start-up of production at Talbot delivers on our strategy of targeting high-return, short-cycle investment opportunities around our operated hubs in the UK North Sea – on time and on budget – predictable execution is key.”

Harbour Energy highlighted in its half-year results that Talbot is on track to significantly boost production in the fourth quarter.

Recently, there have been rumours about Harbour’s intentions to sell stakes in its North Sea assets.

Reports in October suggested that the company is looking to divest from projects on the UK Continental Shelf and is considering a US listing.

This development coincided with the Labour Government’s first budget announcement since winning the UK general election earlier this year.

Stephen Flynn, SNP MP for Aberdeen South, commented on Harbour’s move, stating that it provides “a stark warning for the Labour Government” regarding its North Sea policies.
