Background

Goddard gas field, previously known as Glein, is in blocks 48/11c and 48/12b within the Saturn Banks area of the Southern Gas Basin of the North Sea, a part of the P2438 license.[8]

The field was discovered by ARCO in 1994.[9] Goddard is being developed as part of phase two of the Saturn Banks project, with IOG plc (formerly known as “Independent Oil and Gas”)[10] serving as the field operator. The Saturn Banks project is equally owned (50:50) by IOG and CalEnergy Resources. IOG is a listed, independent company on the London Stock Exchange, while CalEnergy is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Northern Powergrid, which is in turn owned by Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company and ultimately Berkshire Hathaway.[11]

As of July 4, 2022, IOG and CalEnergy had not yet reached FID on Goddard’s phase of the project.[12] CalEnergy lists Goddard as being in the “pre-development phase.”[13]

Goddard is one of the fields Friends of the Earth called out in 2021 for ignoring the guidance of the IEA’s Net Zero by 2050 report. Total lifecycle emissions from the field are estimated at 8 MtCo2e.[14]
