Point of Ayr is also the point where natural gas from the Celtic gas-fields comes ashore and is processed and sweetened at a nearby plant. Gas is piped through a pipeline 33.5 km long from the Douglas Complex of gas and petroleum drilling platforms in the Irish Sea. The processing plant is part of the BHP Billiton development of the Liverpool Bay area. After processing, the gas is sold to Powergen, for their combined cycle gas turbine power station at Connah's Quay, on Deeside, in Flintshire.
