Description
- The fields are no longer in production
- The Caister platform is a small unmanned facility
- Murdoch has two small unmanned platforms, one of which is for gas compression
- The CMS III development involved the development of five gas fields: Errol, McAdam, H, Q and, K, with all the fields tied back to the existing Caister Murdoch System
- The Katy Gas Field, Ketch Gas Field, Cavendish Gas Field and the Kelvin Gas Field are subsea tie backs that use the production and transportation facilities of the Caister Murdoch System (CMS)
- The **Hunter Gas Field** is a single subsea well tied back via an 8" flexible pipeline and umbilical to the existing Murdoch K subsea template
- Gas is transported to the Theddlethorpe Gas Processing Plant.
