Energy Eye - Gas Report

The well-documented strike at the Grangemouth oil refinery, which has forced the closure of BP's Forties pipeline, has had a two-pronged impact on the UK's gas market. Not only has the closure of the pipeline bolstered global oil prices (underpinning European gas prices), but 25% of the UK's gas supply (approx. 85 million cubic meters) is landed via the Forties pipeline. However, much of the sting has been offset by the falling demand in gas over the last two weeks. Warmer weather has seen gas storage injecting at a steady pace, and flows from Belgium increased last week.
