From the transcript
That's the two— the treatment plant and the compression facility. Those already exist, um, and handle that 9 BCF of gas every day. And then, as I said on one of the first slides, we handle 10 times as much water as we do oil every day. Right, so we're already moving a lot of fluids and we have, you know, about 1,400 people up there working across, let's say, 11 major facilities at Prudhoe Bay. We do not have a gas sale precedent agreement in place for Prudhoe Bay because we feel like we can satisfy all of the gas needs for Phase 1 from other less complicated fields, specifically Northstar, and we're working on one for Point Thompson.
