§ Mr. SpellerTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy what is the current production of natural gas from the United Kingdom sector of the North sea in million tonnes of oil equivalnt; and what is the projected use of natural gas by 2005 and 2020 outlined in the range of scenarios produced in the study "An Evaluation of Energy-related Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Measures to Ameliorate Them".
§ Mr. Peter MorrisonGas production from United Kingdom fields in 1988—the last year for which full data is available—was approximately 39 million tonnes oil equivalent (MTOE). Primary gas demand in the study referred to was estimated to range between 59 and 100 MTOE in 2005 and between 72 and 169 MTOE in 2020. This range of estimates was based on price assumptions provided by the International Energy Agency.
