The terminal includes facilities for exporting stabilised crude oil and liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) by tanker and pipeline.
[1] In 1975 the 354-km Norpipe subsea pipeline was commissioned to transport oil from Ekofisk to Seal Sands Teesside UK.
[8] The specification of the plant is to produce stabilised crude with a Reid vapour pressure of 3 to 8 psig (20.7 – 55 kPa).
The light ends are withdrawn from the top of the stabilisers where they are compressed and routed to the NGL plant.
Stabilized crude is drawn off the base of the stabilisers and is cooled and routed to storage tanks.
[9] It comprises a series of fractionation vessels: de-methaniser, de-ethaniser, de-propaniser, de-butaniser and butane splitter.
[7] The flue gases from the gas turbines are routed to the combustion chambers of the steam boilers.
Ethane, propane and butane are liquefied and sent to insulated storage tanks prior to loading onto ships.
[10] In addition to sea transport stabilised crude can also exported by pipeline to the Greatham tank farm.
