+++ Description

• Calder in the East Irish Sea produces sour gas.
• It was developed with an unmanned platform and three development wells feeding to a producing platform and then through a pipeline to the Rivers Terminal at Barrow-in-Furness, which provides compression, hydrogen sulfide removal and metering.
• Options for developing the additional sour gas fields of Darwen, Crossens and Asland to feed into the Rivers Terminal will be considered once the Calder Field begins to decline.
