The entry specification for any future third party production is dependent upon the point at which such production would enter the CMS facilities and the composition of production already being processed.

The entry specification will cover areas that affect onward transportation and processing. All gas from CMS is processed at the Theddlethorpe Gas Terminal “TGT” (see separate arrangements).

Liquids – Any liquids transported via CMS would be shipped through the pipeline to TGT. These liquids are then transported by onshore pipeline to the Humber Oil Refinery.

Gas – Any gas transported via CMS would be shipped through the pipeline to TGT and onwards to the National Transmission System “NTS” operated by National Grid Transco and the Killingholme Pipeline System “KIPS” operated by E.On UK. The exit specification from the gas terminal is the National Transmission System entry specification at that point.

The primary separation system on CMS is 2-phase

Gas from the separation system is usually routed to the metering and compression facilities.

Water & condensate from the separator is reinjected into the CMS pipeline and transported to TGT.

The only gas treatment facility on CMS comprises the methanol injection system which provides hydrate inhibitor and corrosion protection to the field wells and in-field flow lines.

Not applicable.

The gas compression system comprises two gas turbine driven compressors. Provision of compression is a key consideration in any new field tie back. There is also the option for a freeflow or an interstage connection for an initial period.

The nameplate capacity of the compression system is around 450 mmscf/d. The ability of the system to take gas is a function of a number of factors, including:

• Liquid management
• Separator capacity
• Gas blending requirements
  

Not applicable.

See Gas Export Capacity section above.

CMS has no water injection facilities.
