For a minute there I thought I had to get off my couch, when all the while the fact is we don't have to do anything much but keep things afloat for just a few decades more! In fact, we'd best shut up about PO, because if our offspring finds out we knew about it all along, they'll turn and wring our necks come 2036!

Whoops, not just innumerate, but a web incompetent too!

Here's a link that should work. It's to the June Report, which has slightly less worrying declines.

Link

I've stuck it in so you can copy and paste.

BTW, my fellow peakers, you'll love this quote from it:

Quote:
The next two-three years look like they will be an exciting time for the industry.


Very Happy

Julian.

Heres the BP statisitical report about natural gas decline.

UK natural gas production

It seems very strange for one side to say there is a 17.5% decrease whereas some say 6.7%. Someone has got their figures seriously wrong. From what I know BP rely on the figures released by the companies so that seems pretty credible to me.

Here's some useful links about the companies who run each of the pipeline and LNG projects.

The Interconnector pipeline from Belgium.

Quote:
The Interconnector gas pipeline provides a strategic bi-directional link between the UK and Continental European energy markets.
Interconnector services allow customers to meet the physical demands for natural gas and reach new markets by trading between the two hubs.


The Frigg gas pipeline from Norway which is currently operational and which I missed out on my assessment. Embarassed

The proposed Britpipe project from Norway which will account for 20% of Britains gas needs.

Quote:
The project is an integrated gas production and importation scheme that includes the subsea development of the Ormen Lange gas field (100km off the coast of mid-Norway) combined with an onshore gas processing plant and a 1,200km gas import pipeline to a receiving terminal at Easington, UK. The pipeline is routed via the Sleipner nodal platform, thus offering the flexibility of importing Ormen Lange gas to mainland Europe as well as importing gas production from other gas fields into the UK eventually supplying some 21 bcm p.a.


The BBL (Balgzand Bacton Line) from Holland

Quote:
BBL company is working on a pipeline that will link the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. This pipeline has been given the name BBL (Balgzand Bacton Line) and will be built by
Gasunie Technology & Assets under the authority of BBL Company. BBL Company is a partnership of three subsidiaries of Gasunie Technology & Assets, E.ON Ruhrgas and Fluxys. The gas flow direction is from the Netherlands to the UK.


Here's a link to the proposed NEG (North European Gas) pipeline

A PDF document on the expansion of the Isle of Grain LNG terminal.

A PDF document about the construction of the LNG terminals at Milford Haven.

I do find it a bit strange that we are told that the North Sea is a model of transparency, then get such differing figures.

RBS says in their June Report:

(which puts gas depletion at 16%)

MY bold

Quote:
Notes to Editors: Gas prices are provisional and sourced from DTI’s Quarterly Energy Prices. Oil & Gas output figures are provided by the operating companies. All other figures from Datastream. Gas production figures from Shell estimated using average production movements for the past 12 months.


So it would seem that BP and RBS are both going to the same source and getting let us say, somewhat variable figures.

PS Stu, you didn't get any proper Norwegian Frigging then, you poor sod Smile

eusa_think Hmmmm.

I might investigate this a bit more and try and find out why these figures are so different.

Just for the record. The Frigg pipeline transports 33 mcm/d.

Link

This is equivalent to just under 1.2 bcf/d. Which works out at 439 bcf/y. This makes a revised estimate of 3.5 tcf/y in 2010, not including the depleting UK reserves and discounting the possibility of the pipeline from Germany. All of the above however is speculation and will make the next few years very interesting.

Ex-Ships Pilots Warn on Plans for Port

Quote:
Eight retired ships' pilots have expressed serious safety concerns about plans to turn Milford Haven into the world's biggest importer of liquefied natural gas.

Yesterday the pilots released a statement they have made for use by campaigners, whose application for a judicial review of the decision to approve the pounds 600m scheme will be considered by the High Court later this month.
