This paper reports that the U.K. government has opened the way for resuming gas imports into Britain by approving a contract signed by U.K. electric power utility National Power to buy gas from Norway. A new joint marketing venture of BP Exploration, Den norske stats oljeselskap AS (Statoil), and Norsk Hydro AS also will be allowed to import gas for electric power plant fuel once it has a contract. National Power and the BP/Statoil/Norsk Hydro group will use the Frigg pipeline from Norwegian waters into St. Fergus, north of Aberdeen, the only existing link between the British transmission system and foreign supplies of gas. Meantime, progress is under way toward a second pipeline to link the U.K. with foreign natural gas supplies, calling for a pipeline across the English Channel joining the continental European pipeline system to the U.K. network.
