Process
| Entry specification |
Produced fluids must be commercially free of odours, materials, sand and solids/fluids that might interfere or cause injury to the proper operation of the Everest facility; which for the avoidance of doubt shall include any material that would affect the merchantable value of Everest products. |
| Exit specification |
To meet the required specifications of the Central Area Transmission System and the Forties Pipeline System. |
| Primary separation |
The Everest platform has two parallel processing trains, each with initial high pressure separation. |
| Gas treatment |
A four stage processing process is followed by separation, booster compression, dehydration and export compression. |
