For natural gas to allow data sources to be compared, assuming reasonably pure methane
1 GWh ≈0.1 MScm
UK daily burn is ~ between 100 and 200MSCM, or 1000-2000GWh each day.
UK gas storage as a few graphs Note that our long range store has a leak and is not available, so why they plot a flat line who knows, Scroll a bit for the medium range store, and realise we have about 15 000 gigawatt hours in the tank (7 to 15 days if there was no incoming supply at all - but there always is..)
Then scroll down to the LNG graphs, and notice that the up steps are when a ship unloads LNG at Milford haven or wheever, and the steady decline between those up ticks is our rate of use from those tanks, perhaps 2000 gigawatt hours in 3- 4 weeks. That has about 6000 GWhr in it tonight. But many of us in the south have not put the heating on yet ;-) so that rate of run-down could probably rise a bit.
