Intro
The Golden Eagle PUQ platform is a fixed production, utilities and quarters facility in the Golden Eagle Area development in the UK North Sea. Installed circa 2014, it processes crude oil and associated gas from the Golden Eagle, Peregrine and Solitaire fields. It is bridge-linked to the Golden Eagle W platform and exports oil and gas ashore.
Field
The Golden Eagle development is an oil and gas field ~70-mi northeast of Aberdeen in up to ~114-m water depth. Discovered in 2007, the field and adjacent satellites hold ~140-million barrels recoverable oil with associated gas produced through the platform complex.
Facilities
The PUQ platform comprises hydrocarbon processing trains, utilities and living quarters topsides on a steel jacket foundation. It receives multiphase fluids from the bridge-linked W platform and subsea manifolds. Primary separation splits oil, gas, and water; oil is stabilized and routed to the Flotta oil terminal via a subsea pipeline to the Claymore system, while gas is conditioned and exported into the SAGE/ETS network. The platform includes gas lift and water injection support to maintain production rates and flow assurance. Utility systems include power generation (turbine/driven), HVAC, chemical injection, produced water handling, and fire-safety systems. Accommodation and control modules support operations and remote monitoring. Electrical and control cabling across the bridge and umbilicals integrate platform functions. Redundant safety systems manage emergency shutdown, fire and gas detection, and evacuation.
