- Production Volume:
Description
- The Gannet complex comprises one fixed drilling and production platform for the Gannet A, B, C, D, E, F and G mature producing fields, located in Blocks 21/25, 21/30, 22/21 and 22/26a in the central North Sea.
- The Gannet complex is situated approximately 180 km east of Aberdeen, 77 km from the UK / Norwegian median line and in a water depth of approximately 95 m (Figure i). It comprises one platform, Gannet Alpha (A).
- Gannet A is a four-legged lifted steel jacket offshore drilling, production and accommodation platform located in Block 21/25. Gannet A is also the host platform for the Gannet B, C, D, E, F and G subsea satellite tie-backs. Gas injection for the subsea satellite tie-backs is also controlled from Gannet A.
- Processed oil is exported through an infield pipeline to Fulmar. Gas from the Gannet field is exported through an infield pipeline into the Fulmar Gas Pipeline to the SEGAL St Fergus Gas Processing Terminal.
Contractors
- **RGC Offshore:** Gannet production platform construction
- **Technip:** Engineering, procurement, installation and construction contract for the Gannet F Reinstatement project
