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.
KEY FACTS
Block 22/10a-A
Sector Central North Sea
Approx distance to land 145 nautical miles
Water Depth 90M
Hydrocarbons Produced Gas and condensate
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: 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 platform facilities; 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 (CATS) for export gas and the
Forties Pipeline System (FPS) for export condensate.
Outline details of Primary Initial stage separation for the Everest process is through a two-phase vertical HP Separator.

facilities:
Outline details of gas The Everest gas processing facilities comprise two parallel compression trains from the gas outlet of the
treatment facilities: HP Separator. Each compression train consists of booster compression followed by TEG dehydration and
export compression.
