+++ Description

• The Judy/Joanne (J-Block) gas condensate/oil fields and Jade gas condensate field are located in the central North Sea.
• The Joanne field is a sub-sea development tied back to the manned Judy platform through two 5.5 kilometre pipelines. The Judy/Joanne fields currently produce from 16 wells.
• Jade was developed using a normally unmanned wellhead platform and currently produces from eight wells. Production from Jade is exported via a sub-sea pipeline to the Judy platform where it is commingled and processed with Judy and Joanne production.
• Gas processed on the Judy platform is transported through the [[[CATS Central Area Transmission System Gas Pipeline]]] to the [[[Teesside Gas Processing Plant TGPP]]] and liquids are transported to Teesside through the Norpipe system.
