Royal Dutch Shell said its spending plans will include a cash injection of around $4billion for the North Sea.
The investment drive will be rolled out between this year and 2018 and is understood to be line with its previous expenditure in the region.
The energy giant announced on Tuesday that it would scale down global investment and pinpoint further savings as it grapples with lower oil prices.
Paul Goodfellow, Shell’s vice president for Upstream in UK & Ireland, told the Press Association that it will “include significant investments with our partners West of Shetland in the Clair and Schiehallion projects in which Shell has a 28% and 55% share respectively.”
