Murphy has been appointed by National Gas to deliver a critical infrastructure project at the St Fergus Gas Terminal on the North-East coast of Scotland. The project, known as the Medium Combustion Plant Directive (MCPD) Compressor Project, is vital for ensuring compliance with emissions regulations. The scope of work encompasses the design, construction, and commissioning of three low-emission compressor units. The project includes all associated civil, electrical, control and instrumentation, process, mechanical, and piping work, along with OEM rotating equipment. The St Fergus Gas Terminal is fundamentally important to Great Britain’s energy system. Located on the North-East coast of Scotland, it provides access to gas from the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) and Norway, which it feeds into the gas National Transmission System (NTS). St Fergus regularly supplies between 25% and 50% of the country’s natural gas. The main terminal also receives treated gas from three sub-terminals, currently owned by Shell, Ancala and North Sea Midstream Partners (NSMP). Murphy has a longstanding collaborative partnership with National Gas at St Fergus, successfully delivering a diverse range of complex engineering and construction projects. These include asset health interventions, actuator replacements, aftercooler upgrades, and cathodic protection enhancements.
