Gas Field (Inactive) - last checked 2020
Köppen climate type:
This gas field was discovered and developed in the 1960s and when depleted was re-drilled in the 1980s to be re-injected with gas produced from other areas and thus used as a storage facility.
The reservoir consists of aeolian and wadi sandstones of the Permian Rotliegendes formation which lie below the Zechstein group of evaporites.
During the redevelopment in the 80s, an oil-based drilling fluid was employed, so all the water-soluble minerals in the evaporites were returned to the surface as drilled cuttings.
In June 2017, Centrica Storage Ltd announced that gas injection and storage would cease.
