The function that is at the BP Easington site is the connection to the National Transmission System. BP Easington used to compress gas as well, but from 2007-9, the construction of the £125m Onshore Compression and Terminal Integration Project (OCTIP) situated all compression and processing from the gas fields at the Dimlington site.
