Access
Access by new entrants to the Brae-Forties Pipeline System is available through:
- Utilization of the Brae platforms for processing fluids, and/or
- Utilization the liquids transportation system, through tees with spare tapping points.
There are three subsea tees available for use as access points for third parties into the Brae Area Infrastructure, two of which are currently used for liquids transportation from the Brae Bravo Block, the CNR operated Tiffany platform as well as the Beauly, BP Andrew and Cyrus fields.
It is the responsibility of the Shipper for contracting with the owner(s) of connecting infrastructures, such as host platforms and/or spur pipelines. However Marathon, as operator, can facilitate discussions with and provide contacts for such infrastructures. For information on all connecting platforms and lines see the Brae-Forties Pipeline System.
Access to the Brae Area Infrastructure for fluids processing can be via any of the three platforms. Fluids would be processed to meet the appropriate pipeline entry specification and transported to the appropriate terminal. Liquids can also be received into the Brae Infrastructure using tees with spare access points or hot taps along the Brae Forties Pipeline System.
