UK Gas – Visual

Gas Sources:

measured in mcm/day (million cubic meters per day)

Gas Terminal Flows:

measured in mcm/day (million cubic meters per day)

Gas Consumers:

measured in mcm/day (million cubic meters per day)

Export Flows:

measured in mcm/day (million cubic meters per day)

Exports are via 2x Bacton Pipelines:
1: IUK – Bacton > Zeebrugge (BE: Belgium)
2: BBL – Bacton > Balgzand (NL: Netherlands)
&
The export only link from Moffat in Scotland to Ireland (Map)

Total Gas Storage:

Displays the current level of storage for both UK gas & LNG.
Select the 2 Data Points from either category – Gas or LNG (i.e Gas & Gas Space Remaining) to give a more accurate display of individual storage status.

*Percentages based on the assumption that total UK storage capacity is: 39,000GWh

Gas: 25,300GWh made up of 16,990GWh Medium range storage + Estimated 8,310GWh Long Term Storage available at Rough.
LNG: Storage capacity is estimated to be 13,700GWh*.

*Awaiting confirmation from National Grid.

Rough Gas Storage Level:

Seeing as retired offshore gas storage is now being brought back into service, the below graphic breaks out the total storage level of Rough (i.e. Long Term Storage) alone from the above data/graphic.
Note: this has much lower injection & discharge rates so even when full it may not be enough to cover demand.
