Intro
Gorm C is the central processing and accommodation platform in the Gorm field, installed in 1980 and tied into production in 1981. It handles oil and gas separation, gas processing and treatment, produced water handling, and houses personnel quarters. It serves as the primary hub receiving well fluids from Gorm A, B, F and satellite fields.
Field
The extensive Gorm field produces from chalk reservoirs that require water injection and pressure maintenance. Gorm C is at the core of field development and also processes production from Skjold, Rolf and Dagmar satellite fields.
Facilities
Gorm C comprises multi-train processing facilities including three-phase separators for oil, gas and water; oil stabilization units; gas treatment and compression; and produced water purification and reinjection systems. Gas from the field may be conditioned and compressed for export to the Tyra hub or reinjected for pressure support. Oil is stabilized and routed to export via the dedicated riser platform Gorm E. The platform houses accommodation for around 98 personnel, with utilities for power generation, HVAC, potable water, wastewater, firewater, and control rooms for field operations. Centralized processing at Gorm C reduces duplication of equipment across the field while enabling robust hydrocarbon handling. The facility also integrates safety and emergency systems, instrumentation and control systems, and communications networks that link all associated installations.
