5.28 The requirement to minimise environmental impacts of the industry have been a driver in the development of new technology at Wytch Farm, and have been a particularly important factor in the decision to adopt extended reach drilling from land. Gas is used to fuel on-site generation and is exported via a 45 km pipeline to a local NGC site. Oil products are exported via a 90 km pipeline to Hamble tank farm and directly from site by road tanker. Oil is piped from Wytch Farm to BP’s Hamble terminal on the South Coast from where it can be exported or supplied to Esso’s Fawley refinery.
