Abstract: In the past 20 years the United Kingdom has experienced radical changes in its gas industry. These changes involved importing LNG, bringing ashore gas from North Sea fields, constructing a high pressure transmission system, and converting the nations gas apphances to burn natural gas. These were all remarkable achievements of which we are justifiably proud, but this is no reason for complacency or for progress to cease. Advances are continuing to be made in developing new supplies, improving the efficiency of existing systems, reducing costs, and increasing safety. These are the subject of this paper which, after a brief description of the debut of natural gas in the United Kingdom, deals with the variability of the demand and how the supplies are controlled to match it. Some of the recent work on gas transmission is mentioned with specific reference to advances in pipeline technology, compressors, and storage. Finally the paper looks at developments in distribution and how some of the problems are being overcome.
