I wonder what sort of leakage would occur from an old gas field?
You aren't the only one wondering that. My guess is that Centrica's main interest here is avoiding having to pay to decommission Rough.

Yes, I suspect Centrica are salivating at the heroin of subsidy dependency. Perfectly good company (British Gas) sacrificed on the altar of the green blob. Personally I avoid investing in any company that relies on subsidies. I don't think government knows how to run or invest in companies or subsidise them, and I don't think it should.
I really don't like the direction of travel, green ought to be a consideration, but a religion?
1. Centrica have been clutching at any straw for many decades in renewables, generally with the hope of 'proving' they are impossible.
2. If they were ever a perfectly good company in upstream it certainly wasn't during my time, nor those of my predecessors.
3. (john) Is there a particular reason for you asking ? There are indeed potential & actual leakage paths, but it all depends on the specifics.
