Hartshead CEO Chris Lewis said: “This milestone is a significant advancement towards Hartshead becoming a UK gas producer and playing our part in the UK’s energy security and energy transition.

“Seeing the development project take shape, and having a clear development plan and offtake route identified, is immensely gratifying after all the hard work put in by the team so far. I now look forward to taking FID alongside our project partner RockRose.”

The development plan of the Somerville and Anning Gas Fields includes six production wells from two wireline-capable normally unmanned installation platforms.

The gas fields are due to start production in 2025.
