Remedial Engine Maintenance
As communicated on 3rd July, following a planned maintenance shutdown of the Saltfleetby Field facilities from 19th to 21st June, problems were identified with the performance of the second compressor engine and the field has subsequently been operating with a single compressor at an average daily rate of 6mmscfd. The remedial work on the compressor engine was successfully completed in the afternoon of 5th July and the field has returned to dual compressor operation with all three wells on stream.
END.

Explanation of Terminology:
scm (standard cubic metre) mscm (thousand standard cubic metre) and mmscf (million standard cubic feet) are traditional measures of volumes of gas. As producers we tend to observe volume flow from wells and through process plant but we are paid on the energy content which is metered and analysed at point of sale. Mmscfd represents mmscfd per day.
These two types of measurement, energy and volume, are related by the calorific or higher heating value which is the number of MJ per standard cubic metre. Very intense processing, i.e. lower temperatures, will tend to remove more higher hydrocarbon fractions such as propane, butane and pentane, which will lower the calorific value but improve the margin of safety in terms of meeting transmission grid specification.
55,000 Therms, given a calorific value of about 41MJ per standard cubic metres is approximately equal to 5mmscf or 141,584 scm, 1,612,486 kwhrs, 5,804,948 MJ. Note that "mm" in respect of therms or scf means million. Confusingly, in the case of Joules, different nomenclature is used and "MJ" is an abbreviation for megajoules which is equivalent to millions of joules.
