The energy giant Shell is to increase the amount of gas processed at a Norfolk terminal by 16% – securing its future for “decades to come”. <\/p>\n

The firm has spent \u00a3300m updating the plant at Bacton to allow 400 million cubic feet (11,300 litres) of gas to be processed. <\/p>\n

“This means we can use the facilities more and reduce operating costs,” Anne O’Halloran, from Shell, said.<\/p>\n

This firm is also drilling more wells in the Southern North Sea gas field.<\/p>\n

The extra capacity at the plant enables Shell to take gas from the Spirit Energy-owned Clipper South field, which is about 45 miles (70km) off the coast from Bacton.<\/p>\n

Processing at Bacton, on the coast near North Walsham, began in 1968 after Shell discovered one of the largest gas fields in the Southern North Sea.<\/p>\n

About a third of Britain’s gas energy needs are supplied from the plant.<\/p>\n

Manager Belinda Ikazoboh said Shell had invested the money to upgrade and extend the life of the plant so that it could supply Britain’s energy needs “for decades to come”.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
