To encourage new offshore development needed to fill a gas supply gap that will emerge in the 1990s, British Gas Corp. is offering higher prices for gas produced by both foreign and United Kingdom-based companies in the UK sector of the North Sea. A rundown of recent exploration and development shows that in just 1 year, companies have proposed nine new development projects, primarily in fields previously considered unprofitable. Operators are also reappraising other finds from the 1970s and embarking on a sizable wildcat program.
