Britain Advised to Review Energy Law

Reuters reports that Oil and gas firm Neptune Energy has written to Britain’s energy minister asking for a change in regulation to allow it to produce more domestic gas from its North Sea field amid record gas prices.<br />Neptune says a change in regulations that determine the way gas was blended would allow the company to safely produce 13% more gas at its Cygnus gas field in the North Sea.<br />Neptune Executive Chairman Sam Laidlaw says enabling the proposed relaxation of the specification immediately under emergency powers would allow the use of gas at a lower calorific value.
