pipeline brings in gas from norwegian field
Britain's gas supplies were bolstered in 2007 following the completion of a £5.5bn project to deliver gas from Norway to Yorkshire.
The 750-mile Langeled pipeline, which is the world’s longest subsea pipeline, transports gas for commercial use from the Ormen Lange field, off the coast of Norway, to Easington in East Yorkshire.
It then runs onshore, above, to Nether Kellet and passes through the periphery of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
The system of high pressure pipelines takes gas to major towns and cities. At least 20 per cent of the country’s gas is imported through it.
