In 2017, TGT was shut down leaving the field stranded with nowhere to process the produced gas and no direct export route. Angus Energy acquired a 51% interest and operatorship in the field in late 2019/early 2020 and intends to continue production from the field following successful reconnection to the National Grid.
The keys parts of the project are to install processing facilities on the existing Saltfleetby site to ensure gas is at the required pressure, temperature, and specification to be sent to the National Grid, and to install a short export pipeline extension of some 750m to connect the field directly to the National Transmission System. Work is underway to complete these projects with the aim to bring the field onstream in early 2021.
