The field is located about 80 km north east of Bacton, Norfolk; the Thames production facility was in operation from 1986 until 2014.
[6] In addition to its own gas, Thames was designed to be a central hub to receive and process well fluids from the surrounding installations.
The Thames AP platform had the main process equipment which included gas compressors and liquid handling plant.
The AW platform had 5 wellheads and the reception facilities for Arthur, Orwell, Gawain, Bure, Welland and Yare fields.
From the reception facilities gas passed to the former Amoco (later Perenco) site for treatment.
[7] The facilities comprise an area of land within the Perenco part of Bacton where IOG’s fully-owned Thames pipeline connects to the terminal.
It includes gas and liquids reception equipment recommissioned for the development of IOG’s southern North Sea Core Project, across six fields.
Produced gas will continue onto the main Perenco Bacton plant for final processing.
