Energy Voice: GDF bosses nervous about UK government delays

Bosses at French gas giant GDF Suez have raised concerns about the speed of implementation of recommendations made by the Wood Review.

They also said it was “concerning” that the UK government’s consultation on its fiscal review has “been very quiet” as oil and gas firms in the UK wait nervously for confirmation of further government tax incentives.

GDF yesterday officially opened its new offices in Aberdeen which will act as a base for its active North Sea exploration programme as well as its flagship £1.5billion gas project, Cygnus.
