Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about the operation of individual oilfields are a matter for their owners, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We could accept a petition calling for changes to the framework for extracting oil and gas in the UK, but you'd need to be clear what changes you wanted to current rules.
