Intro
Valemon is a fixed offshore steel platform in the Norwegian North Sea producing rich gas and condensate. It commenced production in 2015 following development of the Valemon field and supports separation of hydrocarbons and export of rich gas and condensate via pipeline infrastructure to onshore processing systems.
Field
The Valemon field lies on the Norwegian continental shelf and produces from Jurassic sandstone reservoirs. Production is tied into nearby infrastructure (e.g., Kvitebjørn and Kollsnes) for processing and gas export. It lacks major onboard crude storage; hydrocarbons are exported through pipelines.
Facilities
Valemon’s platform consists of a steel jacket substructure and topsides with separation facilities for gas, condensate and water. Wellheads and templates tie into multiple production and injection wells drilled from the platform. Hydrocarbon fluids are initially separated offshore; gas is exported via pipelines to processing terminals (e.g., Kvitebjørn and onward to Kollsnes) while condensate is exported onshore through dedicated pipelines tied to oil networks. Utility systems include living quarters, helideck, power generation, water handling, flare and safety systems, and remote control interfaces that reduce onboard staffing. Valemon’s topside process modules are designed for partial processing and export duty in the North Sea environment, integrating subsea and topside controls for stable long-term operations.
