The site was formally opened by Amber Rudd on 16 May 2016.

The site is connected to the Shetland Islands Regional Gas Export Pipeline (SIRGE). The site was built by Petrofac's Offshore Engineering & Operations unit; Petrofac is a recent constituent of the FTSE 100 Index. The site and pipelines cost around £800m. The gas is exported from the site via a 230km 30-inch diameter pipe south to the Frigg UK System in Aberdeenshire.

The site is next door, to the east, of the Sullom Voe Terminal.
