Project Profile
Value: US$ 1-2 billion (estimate)
Location: Southern North Sea, UK
Capacity: 300,000 MMcfd
Before being acquired by Independent Oil and Gas (IOG) the Southern North Sea pipeline was unused. IOG now plans to use this pipeline as the main export route for all of its SNS gas assets. The pipeline and the terminal have a capacity to receive in excess of 400 bcf of gas at rates up to 200 MMcfd for more than 20 years. The company intends to re-commission the pipeline to enable evacuation of the gas from the Blythe and Vulcan Satellites hubs. This will require the installation of inter-field pipelines and tie-in points as is normal for any gas field development. With 300,000 MMcfd capacity, the pipeline could also accommodate export of the newly enlarged resources in the Harvey discovery, subject to further appraisal.
