Troll saves UK bacon
Published 08.01.2010 10:38:16 by John Bradbury
Energy sector commentator Evolution Securities in London has suggested Norway's Troll gas field has saved the UK again while the country is gripped by cold weather and a surge in gas demand.

Evolution noted that National Grid's second gas supply alert within three days this week could not have come at a worse time as output from Statoil's Troll gas field – which can supply up to 10% of UK gas demand – went down yesterday as the alert was issued.

“Fortunately for the UK the downtime was limited to just a few hours meaning that we didn’t have to forgo our bacon sandwiches” the commentator noted.
