Forecast future mean system CO2 level (1)
We forecast that mean system CO2 will decline from
approximately 1.6% to between 0.7 and 1.0%, due to a
combination of UKCS field decline of reservoirs containing
relatively high CO2 and increased LNG imports that contain
no CO2. It is the latter that primarily determines the range
shown in the scenario.
Š
An additional line is also shown on the chart; this line
represents the forecast level of CO2 should specific upstream
supplies take advantage of a higher 2.5% CO2 entry
specification.

Forecast future mean system N2 level (1)
• The following chart shows our forecast of future NTS
average N2 concentrations from our three supply scenarios.
The general trend is for lower levels of N2 as some of the new
imported supplies are assumed to have lower levels of N2
than the UKCS supplies they displace. This is notably the
case for new Norwegian imports and LNG.
• The chart also shows two step out cases showing the
resultant levels of N2 in new imports are experienced. Whilst
Case 1 is considered a real possibility, resulting in near
uniform N2 levels; Case 2 is considered exceptionally remote.

Flow pattern - today
Currently, the NTS moves
gas primarily from North to
South, reflecting:
Š Associated gas from
oil production
Š Centres of demand
Š Interconnection to
Europe
