CORRIB GAS TERMINAL SETS ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT STANDARD IN CONSTRUCTION

摘要

The Corrib gas field is located in the Slyne Trough, some 83km off the County Mayo coastline in 350m of water. The field contains high-purity natural gas with very small amounts of hydrocarbon liquids and water. It is being developed by Shell E&P Ireland Ltd. (SEPIL) and its partners Statoil Exploration Ireland Ltd. and Marathon International Petroleum Hibernia Limited as a long-range sub-sea tieback to the shore (i.e. sub-sea wells connected together and joined to shore by a sub-sea pipeline). The gas will be received and treated to meet sales gas specification in the onshore terminal at Bellanaboy Bridge. The purpose of the terminal is to process gas, treat the fluids received and control the operation of the gas field. The gas is processed at the terminal to meet the gas network transmission specification set by Bord Gais.
