North Sea: Miliband relents, Tullow and Enquest jump, Jersey Oil & Gas gushes 14% higher

  • Mid-tier oil and gas exploration stocks rose on Thursday, led by gains in Tullow Oil PLC (LSE:TLW) and Enquest PLC (AIM:ENQ), following signals that the UK government will move to unlock new drilling in the North Sea. Labour's Ed Miliband is preparing to lift legal barriers that had blocked major fossil fuel projects, reversing a January court decision that halted the Rosebank and Jackdaw fields.
