Jobs at a North-east gas terminal have been safeguarded until 2021.
The move is a result of gas flowing in from Norway to St Fergus.
The terminal, which provides 120 jobs, had been due to wind down, but can now operate at full capacity for another 14 years.
So-called “wet” gas has started running from the Statfjord field to the UK Flags pipeline.
It contains not only natural dry gas used to power homes and business, but also natural gas liquids, the essential feedstock for the chemical industry.
The announcement comes after Shell and Exxon revealed in April that they were spending £350 million on rejuvenating the gas complex north of Peterhead as well as operations at Mossmorran in Fife.
The news was welcomed today by First Minister Alex Salmond and Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
Mr Salmond said it was “landmark and landfall day for St Fergus”.
And Mr Brown said: “Co-operation between both countries has secured gas supplies for the UK, extending the life of existing North Sea infrastructure, and giving Norway another export route for gas.
“This is good news for the whole of the UK but especially for Fife and the North-east, where some 450 and 120 jobs have been secured.”

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
