The wall of the pipeline is more than 27 millimetres and is made of high-grade carbon steel. By way of comparison, Gas Network Ireland pipelines running throughout the country are 9 millimetres thick.<\/p><p>The outside of the pipeline has several layers of protective coating, including plastic and concrete, to protect it from external corrosion.<\/p><p>The bundle of cables and small diameter tubes called the \u201cumbilical\u201d carry electrical and hydraulic power to operate the subsea controls. As the name suggests, this is the lifeline to the subsea facilities and connects them to the onshore terminal. To protect the gas pipeline, the umbilical also transports\u00a0an anti-corrosion chemical and methanol (a type of antifreeze) to the wellheads to mix with the gas and prevent hydrates (ice-like crystals) from forming in the pipeline.<\/p><p>Internal corrosion is controlled by the continuous injection of corrosion inhibitor via the umbilical. External Corrosion is controlled with coatings as the primary protection and secondary is provided by Cathodic Protection. Cathodic Protection and coating condition is monitored by means of Annual Inspection from an ROV Support Vessel. An internal inspection tool, referred to as a \u2018smart pig\u2019, is pushed through the pipeline at periodic intervals to gather data on the internal and external condition of the pipeline and monitor the integrity of the pipeline.<\/p><p>As a safety measure, the pipeline was originally designed to withstand 345 bar in the highly unlikely event of pressure increasing above the normal operating pressure.<\/p><p>Advantica were commissioned by the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, to carry out an independent safety review of the Corrib gas pipeline. The findings of this review were published in May 2006 and concluded that \u201cproper consideration was given to safety issues in the selection process for the preferred design option and the locations of the landfall, pipeline route and terminal.\u201d<\/p><p>Advantica recommended a system be put in place to ensure that the onshore pipeline pressure could not exceed 144 bar, suggesting this to be a practical and effective measure to reduce risk in light of societal concerns that had been expressed.<\/p><p>As part of the design of the onshore pipeline, which was approved by An Bord Plean\u00e1la in January 2011, the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) within this section is now 100 bar. Its MAOP under the 2002 design was 150 bar. However, the normal operating pressure in the onshore pipeline will be approximately 85 bar and the pressure reduced as gas in the Corrib reservoir naturally depletes.<\/p><p>In addition, a Landfall Valve Installation has been incorporated into the design, which automatically shuts off the pressure from offshore in the very unlikely event that the pressure in the onshore pipeline should rise towards 100 bar.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e9b4b6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5e9b4b6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Onshore Pipeline and Umbilicals\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76b2ae7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"76b2ae7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The onshore pipeline route is underground along its entire route, and is now 234 metres from the nearest occupied house \u2013 more than three times as far away from occupied housing compared to the originally approved route.

The main source of emissions from the site is from the exhausts of engines that provide compressor power, energy, heat and light for the terminal. These engines are natural gas fuelled using some of the gas produced from offshore. Emissions from the plant are relatively small and only a fraction of what the nearby Bellacorrick power station produced when in operation.<\/p><p>As well as atmospheric and water emissions, light and noise generated from the terminal are strictly controlled to ensure the absolute minimum impact on the local environment and its inhabitants.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0eafc94 elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile\" data-id=\"0eafc94\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-108347e elementor-nav-menu--dropdown-tablet elementor-nav-menu__text-align-aside elementor-nav-menu--toggle elementor-nav-menu--burger elementor-widget elementor-widget-nav-menu\" data-id=\"108347e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;layout&quot;:&quot;vertical&quot;,&quot;submenu_icon&quot;:{&quot;value&quot;:&quot;&lt;i class=\\&quot;fas fa-caret-down\\&quot; aria-hidden=\\&quot;true\\&quot;&gt;&lt;\\\/i&gt;&quot;,&quot;library&quot;:&quot;fa-solid&quot;},&quot;toggle&quot;:&quot;burger&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"nav-menu.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<nav aria-label=\"Menu\" class=\"elementor-nav-menu--main elementor-nav-menu__container elementor-nav-menu--layout-vertical e--pointer-none\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul id=\"menu-1-108347e\" class=\"elementor-nav-menu sm-vertical\"><li class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-1172\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vermilionenergy.com\/ie\/our-operations\/\" class=\"elementor-item\">Our Operations<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-1173\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vermilionenergy.com\/ie\/our-operations\/wells-facilities-pipelines\/\" class=\"elementor-item\">Wells, Facilities &amp; Pipelines<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t<\/nav>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-toggle\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Menu Toggle\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"elementor-menu-toggle__icon--open eicon-menu-bar\"><\/i><i aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"elementor-menu-toggle__icon--close eicon-close\"><\/i>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<nav class=\"elementor-nav-menu--dropdown elementor-nav-menu__container\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul id=\"menu-2-108347e\" class=\"elementor-nav-menu sm-vertical\"><li class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-1172\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vermilionenergy.com\/ie\/our-operations\/\" class=\"elementor-item\" tabindex=\"-1\">Our Operations<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-1173\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vermilionenergy.com\/ie\/our-operations\/wells-facilities-pipelines\/\" class=\"elementor-item\" tabindex=\"-1\">Wells, Facilities &amp; Pipelines<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t<\/nav>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home Page Wells, Facilities &amp; Pipelines The Corrib field is located approximately 83 kilometres off the coast of County Mayo, in 350 metres of water.
