$77.5m Morecambe Bay push

摘要

Centrica has unveiled a US $77.5 (￡60m) invest- ment in its operations in Morecambe Bay assets offshore the UK - which will unlock an extra 85.0 MMcm (3 Bcf) of gas and also secure 350 jobs. The project to refurbish the DP6 and DP8 5,000- tonne platforms in the East Irish Sea, which is expected to start later this month, will increase production from the Morecambe South and Morecambe North fields “which already produce enough gas to heat 1.5million UK homes”, Centrica said.
