Shearwater A Wellhead

Shearwater A is the wellhead steel jacket structure that hosts multiple HP/HT wells drilled into the reservoir. Well fluids are gathered at the platform and routed via flowlines across a short bridge to the adjacent Shearwater C platform for primary separation and processing. The design accommodates high pressures/temperatures and uses heavy-duty tubulars and surface manifolds to handle reservoir conditions. Wells tie into common manifolds, sending multiphase flow to separators, where gas is separated and directed to dehydration/compression systems on Shearwater C; condensate is stabilized and exported via appropriate pipelines (e.g., Fulmar Gas Line for wet gas and Forties Pipeline for condensate). Utilities include integrated power generation (gas turbines), control systems, fire and gas detection, and accommodations on the PUQ platform. The combined infrastructure supports sustained high-pressure production with robust safety and control features.
