NORTH EVEREST
North Everest is a combined wellhead/production/quarters platform, producing gas and
condensate from the North Everest field. The Installation also processes gas and condensate
from the South Everest subsea wellheads, located some 7.1km south of the North Everest
production platform and Everest East Expansion (EEE) wells, located approximately 6.8km
North East of the installation.

Export Method
All of the pipelines and risers are on the CATS Riser platform,
remote from the manned North Everest platform.
Condensate is exported to Forties by infield pipeline (and onwards
to Cruden Bay), and the gas is exported to the CATS Terminal at
Teesside by the CATS Pipeline.

INFRASTRUCTURE INFORMATION
Entry Specification:
Gas condensate
Exit Specification:
Gas export from platform must meet CATS entry specification; condensate export
must meet FPS entry specification.
Outline details of Primary separation
processing facilities:
Single HP Separator (two phase) separates well fluids to gas processing and
condensate/water processing trains. Condensate/water separation train
involves a further two stages of gravity separation; produced water processing is
through a single Tilted Plate Separator before overboard discharge.
Outline details of gas treatment facilities:
Gas treatment sides consists of two parallel gas processing trains. Each train consists
of a booster compressor (with scrubber and aftercooler), TEG Contactor and export
compressor (with scrubber and aftercooler). Booster and export compressors on a
single train run off a common shaft, powered by a single gas turbine.
