General – Gas Storage
The North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) has offered dCarbonX Ltd a 10-year license to store gas in the Bains depleted gas field, in the East Irish Sea in the Morecambe Fields.
First injection could come as soon as 2028.
The company currently plans to develop Bains for gas storage through the drilling of new wells and estimates a storage capacity equivalent to three to four days’ supply for the UK. Further regulatory approvals are required before gas storage operations can commence.
