The St Fergus Terminal services both our FUKA (Frigg UK Association) Pipeline and the third party Vesterled Pipeline.
Operating at >99% availability, the terminal is a critical component in the country’s energy security strategy as we transition to net zero.

Process
Gas is processed by JT valves and/or turbo expander. Liquids are handled by two de-ethaniser trains.
The identical gas trains are designed for parallel operation, and feature the following operations:
- Liquids separation (inlet scrubber)
- Gas dehydration
- NGL recovery
- Sales gas re-heating
The liquids trains also operate in parallel, and feature the following operations:
- Liquid dehydration
- De-ethanisation
- Associated off-gas compression
Gas is redelivered to the National Transmission System.
Benefits
Independence
We do not own upstream fields or production, so our primary business is safely and efficiently transporting and processing gas. The flexibility of our processing and transportation services ensures fair and transparent operations, fosters competition and innovation and optimises efficiency.
Comprehensive infrastructure
We offer full transportation and processing service via the FUKA Pipeline and connected St Fergus Gas Terminal system.
Potential to expand
St Fergus has expansion land to accommodate any new gas treatment facilities alongside the development of an integrated onshore energy hub.
Sustainability
We have active plans to manage our emissions in line with North Sea Transition Deal targets.
Available capacity
The SIRGE System’s ullage profile varies by gas contract year, and potential modifications may expand capacity/ullage.
This profile is for the SIRGE Pipeline, from the Shetland Gas Plant entry point to the FUKA tie-in at the MCP-01 bypass valves and does not encompass infrastructure beyond these points.
