Background

The Hewett Pipeline System carries gas from the Hewett, Dawn, Delilah and Della fields. The longest two lines in the system are the Hewett Northern Export B-Line to Bacton (32.8 km, 762 mm diameter) and the Lancelot to Bacton pipeline (61.7 km, 508 mm diameter).[3] Gas is transported from the North Sea to the Bacton Gas Terminal, where it's treated to meet Transco’s National Transmission System (NTS) needs. As of September 2010, the maximum throughput in the Hewett Pipeline System was ca 50 mmscfd, compared to a design capacity of 900 mmscfd, and there is therefore considerable spare capacity in the pipeline system.[1]

The Hewett Gas field and the attached pipeline network is expected to be decommissioned by 2025.[4]
