Description

  • Trent Gas Field & Tyne Gas Field were developed together in a joint project
  • The Tyne field is located in block 44/18a in the Southern North Sea approximately 188km off the coast of Norfolk and 184km off East Yorkshire. The Tyne platform exports wet gas through a 20” line to the Trent Platform Mobile Offshore Application Barge (MOAB). On Trent MOAB the gas is processed, water separated, cleaned up and discharged.
  • After compression the gas is exported to the Bacton Gas Plant on the Norfolk coast via the EAGLES Pipeline System.

Contractors

  • SLP Engineering: EPIC contract for the platforms
  • Seaway Heavy Lifting: Transport & Installation of platform
  • Ensco: Development drilling

History
