- The Centrica, Birch, Larch and Sycamore Fields as well as the Talisman Enoch Oil Field are tied back to the Brae Alpha
- The Braemar Oil Field and the Devenick Gas Field are subsea tie backs to the East Brae platform
- Production from the Beinn and Bracken Fields as well as the Kingfisher Field are processed on Brae Bravo
- Condensate from the Heimdal Gas Field is received at Brae
- Oil is exported via the Brae - Forties pipeline to the Forties Pipeline System
- Gas is transported to the SAGE St Fergus Gas Processing Terminal via the Scottish Area Gas Evacuation (SAGE) Pipeline
