Process
LOMOND
| 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 Lomond facility; which for the avoidance of doubt shall include any material that would affect the merchantable value of Lomond products. |
| Exit specification |
To meet the required specifications of the Central Area Transmission System and the Forties Pipeline System. |
| Primary separation |
The Lomond platform has two parallel processing trains and the Erskine Processing Module. Initial stage separation for both Lomond and Erskine fluids is through high pressure separation. |
| Gas treatment |
A three stage processing process is followed by separation, dehydration and export compression. |
