HC Deb 26 June 1978 vol 952 c377W
34. Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what is the estimated volume and value—at current prices—of the gas which will be separated from North Sea oil.

Dr. John Cunningham

Currently some 500 million cubic feet per day of gas is being separated from North Sea oil from the United Kingdom Continental Shelf. This figure will increase as oil production increases. The value of the gas will vary according to where it is made available and the uses to which it might be put.
