In October 2024, Harbour Energy commenced production at its Talbot development, a three-well subsea tieback located 16km south-east of the Judy platform in the UK North Sea.

Harbour owns 67%, while Ithaca Energy holds 33%.

The project involves a 15km pipeline and chemical control umbilical, with gas transported via CATS to the Teesside Gas Processing Plant and oil exported through Norpipe to the Teesside terminal.

Also, Harbour Energy is exploring the sale of stakes in several North Sea oilfields.  

The British producer is also revisiting plans for a US listing, following a trend among operators to reduce investments due to the increase in tax on the sector announced in October, as reported by Reuters.

The UK Government intends to use the additional revenue for renewable energy projects.
