Ainsdale, Southport, Merseyside, UK. 27th April, 2015. UK Weather. Colourful sunset over Morecambe Bay Gas Rig. In 1974 the second largest gas field in the UK was discovered 25 miles (40 km) west of Blackpool, with original reserves of over 7 trillion cubic feet (tcf) (200 billion cubic metres). At its peak 15% of Britain's gas supply came from the bay but production is now in decline and the main field was mothballed in 2011.
