Posted by Chris Vernon on June 24, 2008 - 8:40am in The Oil Drum: Europe


This is a guest post from Rune Likvern (nrgyman2000 on The Oil Drum). Rune is an independent energy and financial analyst from Norway who has decades of experience from holding various positions within several international oil companies and also runs a blog called "Kveldssong for Hydrokarbonar". When Rune posts on The Oil Drum we usually pay attention to what he has to say.

A more detailed look on what to expect for UK natural gas prices in the near term and a brief discussion on the real options available for future UK energy consumption.
