Background

A 2014 fact sheet stated that the "gas pipeline will run in a south-east direction from the Rosebank field for approximately 147 miles (236 kilometres), before tying into the SIRGE pipeline in the central North Sea, which transports gas to the UK onshore St. Fergus gas terminal near Peterhead, Scotland."

As of June 2019, a final investment decision for the Rosebank Project is now expected by May 2022. The in-service date is expected in 2025.
