Spirit Energy Limited is a UK-based upstream oil and gas company focused on exploration, development, and production in the UK and Netherlands. Formed in 2017 through the combination of Centrica’s exploration and production business with Bayerngas Norge, it is jointly owned by Centrica and Stadtwerke München. The portfolio spans mature and late-life assets in the North Sea and East Irish Sea, where the company operates and participates in offshore fields and associated onshore processing infrastructure.
Alongside safe, efficient production and decommissioning, Spirit Energy is progressing plans to repurpose depleted gas reservoirs for carbon capture and storage, including the proposed Morecambe Net Zero CO2 storage hub under the East Irish Sea. These activities position the company within the UK’s energy transition, with potential relevance to hard-to-abate industrial sectors by enabling permanent geological storage of captured CO2. Headquartered in the UK, Spirit Energy works with regulators and partners across its operating regions.
