Centrica Storage Ltd (CSL) said it intends to file applications to permanently end Rough`s status as a storage facility but aims to produce all recoverable gas from the field. which is estimated at 183 billion cubic feet (bcf).
Britain depends on stored gas reserves to help manage winter energy demand spikes and to ensure security of supply.

Concerns about the integrity of wells at the site prompted Centrica in April to put off any further gas injections until at least April 2018.
