Conono's Viscount Field Approved By UK Government

The UK government has granted approval for development of a new North Sea gas field, Viscount, which was discovered last August by Conoco. The field is expected to produce one hundred and fifty billion cubic feet of gas over the next ten years and is located fifty miles off the Norfolk coast. It will pipeline be connected via a new pipeline that eventually feeds into the LOGGS pipe, coming ashore at the Theddlethorpe terminal. First gas is expected this November from the sixty four million pound ($93.24 million) project.
