Saturn Banks Pipeline

Unread post by escveritas »

The Saturn Banks Pipeline was previously used to evacuate gas from the Thames area complex which was decommissioned following cessation of production in 2015. The pipeline was acquired by IOG for a nominal sum in April 2018 from the previous owners.

The Saturn Banks pipeline is a 24-inch concrete coated pipeline which runs 90-km from the decommissioned Thames field to the Bacton Gas Terminal on the coast of Norfolk. IOG intends to use the shoreward 60km to export its gas. The line is connected to the Saturn Banks Reception Facility at Bacton, acquired by IOG in July 2019, which is being refurbished as part of the Phase 1 development.

In May 2018 IOG commenced an extensive programme offshore and onshore at the Bacton terminal to commence the recommissioning of the pipeline to export the entire IOG portfolio of gas in the Southern North Sea from kilometre point 60, which is 6-km south of the proposed Southwark platform location.
