British oil and gas giant BP is selling its North Sea business, which includes five production hubs and employs approximately 1,100 people. The company cited punitive climate regulations and windfall taxes as factors driving its decision. BP's move comes as new British Prime Minister Andy Burnham faces pressure to ease restrictions on oil and gas production in the North Sea. Supporters of expanded drilling argue it would help reduce energy prices and contribute to the country's energy security.
