A lawsuit delayed the approval of two new drilling wells in Nonville , a village where Bridge Energies has been producing oil since 2009 .

The French government extended the size of the concession fivefold at the end of 2023 - just after welcoming “the consensus achieved on the necessary move away from fossil fuels” at COP28.

France currently produces around 1 per cent of its oil consumption at home.
