Jade
Jade

Jade is a high pressure/high temperature (HP/HT) development composed of pre-Cretaceous reservoirs. It consists of a normally unmanned installation (NUI) tied back, via a subsea pipeline, to the Judy Host Facility from which all operations are controlled. Hydrocarbons were first discovered in 1995 and extensive geological, geophysical and reservoir work has taken place to determine the full extent of reserves in the field. Production is carried back to the Judy platform for processing and onward to Teesside.

INFRASTRUCTURE INFORMATION
Entry Specification: |
The entry specification for any future third party production is dependent upon the point at which such production would enter the Jade facilities and the composition of production already being processed at that time. The entry specification will cover areas that affect onward processing and transportation as well as those which impact the Jade and Judy facilities e.g. slugging limitations and contaminants. |
Exit Specification: |
Need to meet the Jade/Judy TPA Delivery Specifications. |
