Intro
A fixed normally unmanned gas wellhead/riser platform in the K06 area of the Dutch North Sea, installed in 1992. Functions as a riser and gathering point for satellite wells, linking into the broader K06 central production infrastructure.
Field
The K06-C conventional gas field is a shallow-water Dutch North Sea gas accumulation developed with multiple platforms. Reservoirs are Permian Rotliegend sandstones; production infrastructure includes central processing hubs and satellite nodes such as K6C, tied into one another via subsea pipelines.
Facilities
K6C contains wellheads and riser interfaces for production wells tied back to central processing platforms (e.g., K6P). It does not host significant separation, compression, or dehydration facilities; instead, flows are routed through subsea lines to larger hubs where core processing occurs. Utility systems are limited to unmanned power and control systems for safety, flow control valves, and remote monitoring. K6C acts as a connectivity node within the K06 cluster and supports field drainage across compartments by collecting and transferring hydrocarbons to processing centers. Export from the K06 infrastructure occurs via subsea pipelines linked to regional export networks.
