The SNP's energy spokesperson has contradicted Humza Yousaf over the Rosebank oil field.
Dave Doogan, who is a close ally of SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn, said he is not opposed the oil field off Shetland going ahead.
This is despite the First Minister saying earlier on Wednesday that he was "disappointed" it had been approved by UK regulators.
The SNP in Holyrood and Westminster have clashed before on energy, with Flynn saying earlier this year that he thinks the proposed Cambo oil field should go ahead if it meets climate requirements.
Yousaf’s predecessor Nicola Sturgeon had outright opposed Cambo.
Doogan was asked on BBC Radio Scotland's Lunchtime Live: "As it stands at the moment, you think it's realistic to go ahead with developing this, you're not opposing it now?"
He replied: "I'm not opposing it and whether I oppose it or not is not going to make a scintilla of difference in the parliament that I sit in.
"So you have to be pragmatic. It's about an evidence-based analysis of the situation.
"There's three priorities: that is to ensure energy security, to maintain jobs and to continue along the path to net zero.
"The path to net zero is not nearly being developed as quickly as it should be in the United Kingdom under the UK Government and that is having a devastating effect on the transition of jobs from North Sea oil and gas into North Sea offshore renewables."
Humza Yousaf had said earlier on Wednesday that approving new oil and gas fields "risk the pace" of Scotland's transition to renewables.
He said: "I'm disappointed Rosebank has been given the go-ahead. We've raised concerns that the majority of what is extracted from Rosebank will go overseas, not remain in Scotland or the UK. We're investing £500m so workers
