The development of the terminal at St Fergus in 1977 presented the challenge of creating a functional plant to produce gas - a vital resource for the UK economy - whilst protecting the unspoiled coastal and marine environment of the area. 

1977	First stage of the terminal was built to receive and process gas from the Frigg field British Gas (now National Grid) built an adjacent terminal, to interface between the gas processing unit and the National Grid – for distribution throughout the UK Frigg system came onstream
1987	Gas throughput from Alwyn field came onstream
1990	Commissioning of the Phase 3 (UK) plant
