Angus Energy plc has received the booster compressor to add to its existing two compressors at the Saltfleetby field gas processing facility in Lincolnshire.
RECOVERY
The US-made unit was shipped to the UK and arrived at the site last week.
“It has been safely positioned on its concrete plinth and the work to complete the installation process is now underway, ” said the company.
“Commissioning and start-up of the new compressor is still expected to occur before the end of the first quarter 2025.”
The existing two compressors help separate liquid hydrocarbons from the gas stream and to pressure the field’s sales gas for entry into the National Grid.
Angus added that the booster compressor would maintain inlet pressures into the two compressors as reservoir and well head pressure declined with depletion.
This will increase production levels in the short term and field recovery over the life of the Saltfleetby.
