Britain's Grain LNG terminal exports a European record daily amount of gas

LONDON, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Britain's Grain liquefied natural
gas (LNG) terminal exported the highest ever daily amount of gas
to the UK grid this week , marking record daily exports from a
European LNG terminal, operator National Grid said on
Thursday.

* The terminal on the Isle of Grain, in south-east England,
exported 698 gigawatt hours (GWh) of gas into the country's
network on Wednesday, over 100 GWh more than its previous record
and representing around a quarter of UK gas demand.

* "The record activity is due to a global LNG oversupply,
which
has seen significantly more cargos head for North West Europe,"
said Nicola Duffin, Commercial Manager for Grain LNG.

* "We expect utilisation will remain high throughout the
winter
and beyond," she said.

* LNG volumes sent to the UK gas system hit their highest
levels
since 2010 earlier in November.
