+++ Description

  • Siri and Stine segment 2 (SCA) comprise a combined wellhead, processing and accommodation platform.
  • The processing facilities consist of a plant that separates the hydrocarbons produced and a plant for processing the water produced. The platform also houses equipment for co-injecting gas and water.
  • Stine segment 1 (SCB) is developed as a satellite to the Siri platform and consists of two subsea installations with a production well and an injection well.
  • Production from SCB is conveyed to the Siri platform for processing.
  • The Siri platform also supplies injection water and lift gas to the satellite installations at SCB, Nini and [[[Cecilie Oil Field | Cecilie]]]. Injection water is supplied to SCB via a branch of the water pipeline leading to Nini.
  • The oil produced is piped to a 50,000 m³ storage tank on the seabed, and subsequently transferred to a tanker by means of buoy-loading facilities.
