HC Deb 11 February 1969 vol 777 c256W
34. Mr. J. H. Osborn

asked the Minister of Power how much condensate or hydrocarbon product of an oil nature, as opposed to North Sea gas, has so far been found in the Continental Shelf.

Mr. Freeson

Only one discovery of crude oil has been made, and this has not proved commercial. About 10,000 tons of condensate, found with natural gas, had been produced up to the end of 1968.
