Gas Processing Plant FACTS Kårstø Gas processing plant The Kårstø gas processing plant in Nord-Rogaland is the largest of its type in Europe. The installation plays a key role in the transportation and treatment of gas and condensate (light oil) from important areas on the Norwegian continental shelf. Twentyeight fields are linked to Kårstø via pipelines. Every day millions of cubic metres of gas and non-stabilised condensate flow into the plant, where the heavier components are removed by separation. The remainder, known as dry gas or sales gas, is exported by pipeline to the Continent. The heavier components are known collectively as natural gas liquids (NGL) or wet gas. The Kårstø plant is ranked as the world’s third largest LPG producer. History receive gas from yet another large field, Transport pipeline, the extension of the the Kristin Field on the Haltenbank. installations at Kårstø and the Europipe The first gas entered the plant on 25 II pipeline, fields in the Norwegian Sea July 1985 and the first dry gas was sent The latest expansions have entailed a are also connected to the European gas from Kårstø to Emden in Germany on 15 large increase in the plant’s capacity to market.
