PIPELINES

Gas arrives at the St Fergus Gas Terminal from two pipelines - the Frigg UK pipeline and the Norwegian Vesterled pipeline.

The Frigg UK pipeline transports gas from our Alwyn Area fields to the St Fergus Gas Terminal.  A number of other fields, owned and operated by different companies, also export their gas production via the Frigg UK pipeline. 

The Norwegian pipeline, originally built to transport gas from the Frigg Field, is called Vesterled and was extended in 2001 to the Heimdal riser platform in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea. This enables the continued export of existing resources in the Norwegian sector to the St Fergus Gas Terminal. This pipeline is owned by the Gassled partners.
