Stephanie Thom
St. Fergus Terminal Manager
June 2015
TOTAL E&P UK
I am pleased to launch the 2014 Environmental Statement for the TOTAL E&P UK Limited North
Sea Gas Terminal (the Terminal) at St Fergus. The Terminal has published an Environmental
Statement every year since joining the EMAS accreditation scheme in 2000 and as Terminal
Manager, I am delighted that we continue to provide this report which is publicly available.
The Environmental Statement forms part of our voluntary commitment to maintain
Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) accreditation and ISO 14001 certification,
representing the highest international standards of environmental management.
In this report you will find:
2014 has been an exciting but challenging year for terminal operations. During May and June,
a four week shutdown of the Phase 3 Gas and Liquid handling trains was safely and
successfully completed. This involved tie-in work to provide additional redundancy, as well as
an extensive programme of planned vessel inspections and the re-certification of safety valves.
Upgrades to Phase 3 will ensure the plant can operate efficiently, safety, and with high
availability ahead of increased gas system flows from Laggan-Tormore in 2015 and Martin
Linge in 2016. Such an extensive work programme must be balanced with ongoing operations
of the Phase 2 plant and associated Vesterled pipeline, which will continue to operate
throughout.
The work being delivered now and into 2016 will help to ensure the terminal remains a strategic
hub for UK gas supply and central to local community near Peterhead, for many years to come.
Maintaining a strong environmental management system during these busy times is essential
and I am pleased to report that this year, the Terminal achieved a compliance assessment
score of “excellent” from our regulator.
“I hope that you will find the information in this booklet both educational and
interesting. I look forward to any comments you may have”.

Gas Terminal Operations
The TOTAL E&P UK North Sea Gas Terminal (the Terminal), operated by TOTAL E&P UK
Limited (TEP UK), part of the TOTAL Group, is situated at St Fergus on the North East coast of
Scotland, seven kilometres north of Peterhead.
The Terminal has been operating since 1977, receiving natural gas from a number of offshore
fields and processing it to meet UK National Grid network specifications for domestic and
industrial use.
The gas is transported to the Terminal via two offshore pipeline systems – Frigg UK (FUKA) and
Vesterled. The FUKA and Vesterled pipelines combine as a major supplier to the UK National
Grid.
The incoming natural gas consists mainly of methane with heavier hydrocarbons, carbon
dioxide, nitrogen and small amounts of water and hydrogen sulphide.
The two incoming pipelines, FUKA (Line 1) and Vesterled (Line 2), serve Phase II and Phase III
gas and liquid treatment trains and are interlinked on the Terminal site.
Pipelines

Line 1 delivers gas from the Alwyn platform and other installations in UK waters. An exciting
development for the terminal will be the reception of an additional gas stream from Total’s
Laggan field development, which is tied into the line via the SIRGE (Shetland Island Regional
Gas Export) pipeline (connected to the new Shetland Gas Plant). First gas is expected during
2015. Line 2 commences at the Heimdal platform. The Heimdal platform is the Norwegian hub
collecting gas from a number of Norwegian fields. Total operate the pipeline on behalf of
GASSCO (a Norwegian state owned gas company), and also the Phase 2 plant, which is used
to process the Norwegian gas.
On entry to the Terminal, each line has a dedicated ‘slug catcher’ where any liquid
hydrocarbons (natural gas liquids) can settle out before entering the main process. The inlet
facilities receiving gas from the FUKA line are known as Phase I.
The inlet facilities serving each pipeline also contain PIG traps for the removal of PIGs (Pipeline
Inspection Gauge – a device fitted with sophisticated instruments to remove any deposits and
monitor the condition of the pipelines). PIGs are driven along the pipelines by the gas flow.
Processed gas from the Phase II and Phase III refining trains is exported via a land pipeline to
the neighbouring National Grid compressor station. From here it enters the main grid, to be
used in homes and industry. Natural gas liquids (NGLs) from Phase III, also recovered during
the treatment process, are exported both to the neighbouring Shell UK Exploration and
Production site and then onwards to the Shell UK Plant at Mossmorran in Fife, or to BP Kinneil
Terminal via Cruden Bay.

The Phase II slugcatcher is now isolated and depressurised as there is no longer liquid
production on Phase II. The gas enters the inlet facilities where it is conditioned. After heat
exchange, the gas pressure is reduced and the temperature increased, and the resulting gas
is metered and exported via a land line to the neighbouring National Grid site.
The Phase III facilities contain three gas treatment trains and two liquid treatment trains. On
arrival at the facilities, the gas is dried, and then chilled by pressure expansion to allow removal
of NGLs. The ratio of gas to NGL produced can be adjusted depending on the plants mode of
operation. Following NGL separation, the gas is recompressed, reheated and metered, before
being exported to the neighbouring National Grid compressor station.
Compared to 2013, the physical throughput of the Terminal was approximately 41% lower in
2014. This due to several factors, including common shutdown of the Phase 3 processing
facilities in order to carry out planned maintenance and update work and a 53% decrease in
Vesterled nominated gas export for commercial reasons. The methodology for reporting total
physical input has been changed from previous statements and now employs a mass balance
approach based on exported mass of product, plus gas used on site. This is because small
metering discrepancies can arise between measured gas input into FUKA and Vesterled lines,
compared to measured gas export to the National Transmission System.
The annual gas and NGL throughput for the Terminal for years 2012, 2013 and 2014 are as
below.

Environmental
Management System
EMAS Regulation adopts the concept of
EMAS core indicators. Core indicators relate
to the direct environmental aspects and other relevant environmental performance indicators,
focusing on the following areas:
Our Environmental Management System (EMS) is designed to ensure we comply with
environmental legislation, to prevent pollution and to support continual improvement of our
environmental performance.
Our EMS achieved external certification to the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS)
and ISO 14001 in the year 2000 and 2001, respectively. Both certifications are renewed
annually, subject to comprehensive external 3rd party audits. Our EMS forms an integral part
of our overall Company Management System (CMS).

Following an environmental review, as part of the environmental aspects evaluation process,
some of the core indicators identified under the EMAS Regulations have not been reported
against as they are not directly relevant or significant to Terminal activities.
There is a requirement under EMAS to present the applicable core indicators relative to
production or throughput. This data has been summarised on page 25 to allow a year on year
comparison of the Terminal’s environmental performance
A core element of our EMS is effective management the sites identified environmental aspects.
These are elements of an organisations activities that can have a positive or negative
interaction with the environment (the natural surroundings in which an organisation operates).
An aspect that could have a significant environmental impact is called a significant aspect.
The table below shows the environmental aspects we have identified at the terminal, in
alphabetical order. Those considered to be significant are highlighted. This process allows us
to focus the EMS toward managing these aspects in order to continually improve environment
performance.

Emissions to Air
EU Emissions Trading Scheme
• Furnaces used to provide heat to process systems, and....
• Flare facilities which are an integral part of the site safety system.
Under normal operations, the sources of atmospheric emissions resulting from operations at
the terminal are generated by:
Electricity needs are met by the National Grid. Standby diesel emergency generators are
available for power supplies in abnormal situations.
Due to the type of processes in operation at the site, the significant indictors associated with air
emissions are: CO2, NOx and SOx. Emissions of Particulate Matter (PM) do not represent a
significant environmental aspect for the site, are not regulated by the existing PPC permit and
will therefore not be considered here.
The majority of carbon dioxide (CO2) generated on site is the result of fuel gas combustion in
the site furnaces. Flaring represents another smaller source.
CO2 emitted from combustion and flaring activities is regulated via the European Union
Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS). All data relating to our CO2 emissions is independently
verified each year by an external certification body.
During 2014, 40,492 tonnes of CO2 was produced on site, 43.7% below EU ETS allocation
(71,984 tonnes per annum). This is a decrease from 2013 when 52,087 tonnes of CO2 were
emitted, with the cause being a decrease in plant throughput during 2014.

Flare and Vent Consent
Total Annual Air Emissions of
Nitrogen Oxides and Sulphur Dioxide
Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Sulphur Dioxides (SO2) are emitted as by-products of the
combustion process of fuel gas, flare gas and diesel. The total annual mass emissions to air for
years 2012, 2013 and 2014 are shown below.
Slight increases of SO2 in 2014 were largely due to unplanned flaring events following plant
blowdown, and increased assist gas in windy winter weather. Sulphur dioxide emissions are
not calculated for diesel used on site. This is because ultra low sulphur specification diesel is
used.
The Terminal has three flare systems, each of which has a small pilot flame for ensuring safe
combustion of any gas entering the flare system.
Venting systems are present in Phase I and Phase II metering stations and cold venting can
occur during annual maintenance inspections of meter tubes. However, the metering station is
isolated and depressurised to flare preferentially where possible and there was no venting from
this system during 2014.
The table below summarises the performance against the Terminal’s flaring consent. Flaring
during 2014 was lower than in 2013 because of planned common shutdown of Phase 3 gas
trains.

Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases
There is an inventory of limited quantities of fluorinated gas (F-gas) maintained on site for the
functioning of air conditioning and high voltage switchgear units. Some of these gases have a
high Global Warming Potential (GWP) if released to the atmosphere and regulatory controls are
in place governing gas recharging, record keeping, leak detection and decommissioning of
units containing F-gas (EU F-gas regulations 517/2004). During 2014 there were no recorded
releases of F-gas, although some additional work is required to ensure required leak detection
checks are being adequately conducted and documented. This work will take place during
2015.
Total Annual Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Greenhouse Gases (GHG) contribute to global warming. By measuring the total mass of these
gases the global warming potential can be calculated.
The Terminal has calculated the total annual emission of GHG in terms of a carbon dioxide
equivalent (CO2) expressed in tonnes. By multiplying the Global Warming Potential of Nitrogen
Oxides, Nitrogen Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Methane and Volatile Organic Compounds, and
adding the total quantity of CO2 emitted, the Terminal’s CO2 equivalent emissions were
calculated.
The table below summarises the Terminals total annual emission of GHG over 3 years. These
values include GHG emissions associated with gas consumption, gas flaring, gas venting, all
diesel consumption, electricity use (GHG production off-site) and fugitive sources. There were
decreased overall emissions from these sources in 2014 compared to 2013, mainly because
of a lower Terminal gas throughput in 2014 (resulting in reduced fuel gas consumption)

Energy Consumption
A core indicator of environmental performance at the Terminal is the total annual energy consumption
which includes the total thermal energy of diesel fuel, fuel gas, pilot gas, assist gas and purge gas
consumed as well as the electrical energy imported.
A core indicator of environmental performance at the Terminal is the total annual energy
consumption which includes the total thermal energy of diesel fuel, fuel gas, pilot gas, assist
gas and purge gas consumed as well as the electrical energy imported.
The total energy consumption for 2014 was 232,777 MWh, whereas the 2013 value was
298,846 MWh and the 2012 value was 279,602 MWh. This slight decrease was again due to
a decrease in fuel gas and electricity imported as a result of Terminal throughput. This is
variable year on year and is influenced by plant throughput & configuration, weather conditions,
the number of plant upsets and the number of planned maintenance events.
The terminal is largely self reliant in terms of energy requirements. Of the total energy used in
2014, 9.9% (22,107 MWh) was from imported electricity, with the remaining energy consumed
being from fuel gas extracted from the process gas on site. The Terminal currently does not
have a source of energy from renewable sources.

Material Efficiency
Energy Efficiency
The energy efficiency of the Terminal can be expressed as the amount of energy required to
process the imported gas into useful export products (sales gas and natural gas liquids),
compared to the energy content of these exports. The total energy used to run the Terminal
during 2014 was 232,777 MWh, and 59,404,064 MWh of export products were produced. This
corresponds to 3.92 MWH consumed per 1 GWH of product delivered.
The site is currently preparing to fulfil the regulatory requirements of the Energy Savings
Opportunity Scheme (ESOS), which will enable further optimisation of plant efficiency
The material efficiency of the Terminal is the difference between the mass of ‘raw material’
coming into the Terminal (imported gas) and processed material leaving the Terminal (export
gas and liquids). The mass balance in 2014 was a total input of 4,263,635 tonnes and a total
output of 4,248,253 tonnes. This gives a difference of 15,382 tonnes (primarily due to fuel gas
use and flaring) and therefore material efficiency of 99.6%. The material efficiency for 2012 and
2013 was 99.7%.

Collection & Treatment System
Consumption
Most of the Terminal’s water consumption is for domestic purposes including canteen and
washroom facilities. The Terminal’s total annual water consumption increased from 5,559 m³
in 2013 to 14,494 m³ in 2014, largely because of a mains water leak that was detected in late
2014. This leak is currently being investigated.
Rainwater and water generated by site activities are collected by a network of site drains and
routed to the Water Treatment System (WTS). Clean water resulting from surface water run-off
is collected by open drains and diverted to concrete basins which allow any suspended solids
to settle out. Water originating in areas where oil may be present is collected by a separate
drainage system and any separated oil is recovered. The treated waters from the clean and oily
area drains are combined with overflows from the site septic tanks and discharged under
consent to the Scottish Water Authority public sewer. Recovered oil from the WTS is collected
in a sump and removed from site by a specialist waste contractor.
A drains survey and cleaning operation commenced in September 2011 to verify the integrity
of the site drainage systems, removing any blockages and highlight areas requiring repair. In
2013 the remedial works were commenced, with the project planned to continue into 2015.

Quality Discharges
Discharge of the combined site waters to the public sewer is regulated by Scottish Water and
the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA).
The quality of water discharged from the treatment system is regularly monitored by TEP UK to
ensure compliance with the Pollution Prevention & Control (PPC) Permit. A summary of those
discharges and limits are presented in the table below as well as the yearly average sample
results and exceedances.
15/02/2014. Although result would normally constitute an exceedance of PPC limits; SEPA have
advised during site inspection this will not be classified as an incident because of very heavy
prolonged rainfall at this time.
As part of the MRF decommissioning work the MRF fire pond has been removed, although the
XTOM4 discharge point to the Blackwater Burn has been retained as contingency for treated
surface water, in the event that the normal discharge route to the public sewer is unavailable.

Waste
At St Fergus, numerous wastes are generated, stored and handled during operations, as
described in the PPC application documents. As part of our ongoing commitment to improve
the waste culture on site, we aim to minimise the tonnage of waste sent to landfill, maximise
waste segregation and optimise opportunities for reuse and recycling of materials. We conduct
regular skip audits to analyse our performance against waste segregation targets and identify
any areas for improvement.
The site maintains a waste management licence and is fully committed to meeting its ‘duty of
care’ obligations under the Environmental Protection act and Waste (Scotland) regulations. We
achieve this by working with specialist waste contractors, who are regularly audited against our
performance expectations.
The sites waste statistics are generated from monthly waste manifests, received from the main
waste contractor Enviroco. These are cross-checked against the sites own records, with any
highlights or areas of concern addressed during the quarterly Environmental Focal Team (EFT)
meetings, as well as waste Quarterly Performance Reviews (QPR).

During 2014, 15% of the total waste generated was sent to landfill. This is a drop in
performance compared to the previous year when 11.5% of waste was sent to landfill. Waste
to landfill is an aspect the Terminal always endeavours to minimise by following the waste
hierarchy. However, the volume and type of waste generated on site is highly dependent on the
nature of operations and projects ongoing at the time of reporting, which tend to be a mixture
of planned and un-planned activities. The table below summarises the total volume of waste
generated as well as the volume of hazardous wastes generated.
Please note this figure has been amended from that published in 2013 in order to remove
waste avoidance contribution.

The total volume of waste decreased in 2014 compared to the previous year. Of the total waste
generated in 2014, 15.4% was hazardous compared to 2013 when 5.8% of the total waste
generated was hazardous. The higher percentage is because of additional volumes of
hazardous waste were generated during the Phase 3 common shutdown.
The Terminal has implemented a number of waste minimisation projects to help reduce waste
production, some current initiatives are described below:
In 2009, TEP UK launched the Terminal’s Resource Area, which is a dedicated area for
resources including aggregates and sand to be re-used on site. This supports TEP UK’s
philosophy to reduce landfill waste by ensuring that a material that would have otherwise been
sent to landfill is reused. During 2014, 121.5 tonnes of waste was diverted from landfill into the
Resource Area where it was then re-used on site.
Vegware Biodegradable coffee cups and cutlery that are composted instead of
going to landfill.
Segregation Stations Removal of office desk bins and dedicated waste areas on site allows
maximum waste segregation.
Green Procurement Consideration of environmental issues in procurement.
For example suppliers providing garnet in recyclable bags.
Rockwool Recycling An ongoing waste minimisation project where Rockwool is diverted
from landfill and returned to manufacture for re-use.
Waste avoidance Donations to local charities including office furniture to Barnardos and
local projects and fire equipment to Grampian Fire Brigade.
Jeyes Electromagnetic cloth

Hydrocarbon removed and inert sand was diverted from
hazardous landfill.
3663 take back 3663 food distributers take back packaging for re-use rather than

Paint store A paint can crushing unit to reduce the transported volume of empty
paint tins leaving the site. Screw-in funnels with closable lids were fitted
to the waste paint drums to limit loss of volatile liquids to air.
Keenan Recycling Composting of the Terminal’s food waste by Keenan Recycling.
TEPUK purchases the resulting high-quality compost and donates it to
the Willowbank Adult Training Centre, where it is used to grow bedding
plants.
Waste Minimisation Initiative Description of Project

Legal Compliance
In October 2007, the Terminal was authorised to operate under a Pollution Prevention and
Control (PPC) permit (ref PPCA1012811) which contains strict conditions regulating all site
operations, including emissions to land, air, water, as well as conditions relating to noise and
odour.
The PPC Permit requires all incidents to be reported to SEPA, including spills, unplanned flaring
or venting, or smoky flares. The table below summarises the events that were reportable to
SEPA at the time of the incident according to the condition in the PPC Permit. Other incidents
not reportable to SEPA under PPC have also been included, to reflect compliance with a range
of applicable environmental legislation.
During 2014 there were 5 events which resulted in a non-compliance with our PPC permit
conditions and other applicable environmental legislation. We are fully committed to reducing
environmental incidents and make use of reporting tools that allow us to track trends, learn
lessons from past events and put in place control measures to stop them occurring again.
In 2010 the SEPA Compliance Assessment Scheme was launched which reviewed the
Terminal’s performance against the PPC Permit. In 2014 the Terminal achieved an overall
compliance result of ‘excellent’

Community
2014 at St Fergus Terminal was an extremely busy year with a heavy workload on site, however
our personnel were also heavily involved in a lot of charity events which saw people cycling,
running, swimming, walking, baking and even playing instruments to help raise funds for
charity! To name but a few, one of our Operators ran the London Marathon for the Anna
Ritchie School in Peterhead which helps support children with learning difficulties. Our Field
Technologist undertook a Quadrathlon and helped raise funds for Mercy Corps and Mary’s
Meals and our whole site participated in a Cake Bake day to raise money for the Buchan Renal
Unit in Peterhead, which helped them purchase an electrically operated Comfort Chair for their
patients. (photos available).
Charity and charitable donations have been a big part of 2014 with support given via our
Welfare Fund, to the following organisations:

Most of the above charities are linked to personnel on site in one way or another.
Enthusiasm for “getting moving” continued with a great sign up to the Global Corporate
Challenge which saw an amazing 17 teams of 7 people taking part from site. The Terminal
also signed up to the Healthy Working Lives awareness scheme which is a programme
designed to help people at organisations get into better shape and reward them for it. The
Terminal was awarded the Bronze Award in January 2015 in recognition for good practice in
supporting and promoting the health, safety and wellbeing of employees.
We have worked with various local schools in the area on different projects. Total sponsored a
Generation Science Workshop at Buchanhaven School where the Terminal Manager went
along and participated in the day. St Fergus School took part in a Reading Challenge which
saw a number of schools from Aberdeen City and Shire visit Aden Country Park in Mintlaw,
where the children learned about the past. The theme of the reading challenge was “Travel
Through Time”.
We continue to work with Peterhead Academy Young Enterprise Team and this year’s group
(from Aug 2014 – April 2015) is called “Matters Arising”. The group are up-cycling carpet
squares making them into table mats and reusing bottles to make diffusers. The team had a
successful selling day at the Bon Accord Centre in Aberdeen and are currently preparing to
write their business report. Through our contacts with the 2-Reuse shop in Peterhead, we
helped enable the group to set up an area within the shop where their products are on sale.
This was captured in the local newspaper. (photo available).
A group of senior pupils from Peterhead Academy interested in Hospitality and Catering, visited
the site where they were given a tour of the canteen and a presentation by our Facilities
Contractor, ESS. This gave the pupils the opportunity to see what an industrial type canteen
was like and what type of job opportunities are available within the industry. During the visit the
pupils took part in making their own fruit smoothies by using the “Smoothie Bike”. The visit was
a great success and may become an annual event.
We also had a busy Christmas period again with our annual Christmas Giving Tree appeal
(photo available) and our site raffle. Proceeds from this year’s raffle were split between four
charities, chosen by site personnel: Help for Heroes, Maggie’s Centre Aberdeen, Diabetes UK
and CHAS. Each charity was given a cheque for £1,350.
Our friends at Renouard Court had a fun afternoon singing Christmas carols with the Total
Diversity Choir and also with a “Music in Hospitals” concert, sponsored by TEP UK.
We continue to use our local suppliers wherever possible and provide support to annual
activities with regards to transport for the St Fergus and Crimond Senior Citizen outings, as well
as providing a Christmas Party for the children of Home Start in Fraserburgh.

Biodiversity
Biodiversity is an important environmental issue for The Terminal. Setting aside areas of land to
encourage wildlife has always been part of the St Fergus development. These areas such as
woodland next to the fire pond and the Millennium Garden are attractive to local bird
populations and other wildlife. Swans, terns and black-headed gulls have historically nested
near to the fire pond; whilst otters, badgers, rabbits and foxes are regular visitors to the site.
The St Fergus site’s close proximity to the Loch of Strathbeg nature reserve has a significant
impact on the bird population in the area. When flooded, the shallow Winter Loch located
between the beach dunes and the terminal is home to Whooper Swans and Pink-Footed
Geese, among many other species. During its dry spring and summer spell, it also provides a
popular nesting site for Lapwings, Oystercatchers, Ringed Plovers and Terns.
This year, the Terminal invited employees from the Ranger Service and James Hutton Institute
to visit the site and Millennium Garden, with the aim of proposing opportunities to further
enhance biodiversity.
Under EMAS, the core indicator for biodiversity is the surface of built up areas within the
Terminal boundary. During 2012 the MRF decommissioning works 18,500m2 of former built up
area was removed, which increased the area of undeveloped land to 77% (a 3% increase from
2011). The total built up surface area therefore became 168,827 m2 in 2012. In 2014, this
surface area has remained constant.

Enviromental Vision
Environmental objectives and targets are identified on an annual basis through the
environmental focus team process. These are broadly based around the Terminals significant
environmental aspects as well as other environmental topics and identified opportunities for
enhancing performance and demonstrating best available practice. A summary of our 2014
performance against the environmental objectives and targets identified in these plans, as well
as an outline of our 2015 environmental goals, are shown the following pages. These objectives
are embedded within the St Fergus SHEQ&I Plan to enable effective tracking and ensure
accountability alongside safety, health, quality and integrity targets.
