Intro
Tyra EB is one of the unmanned satellite wellhead platforms at the Tyra gas condensate field in the Danish North Sea, originally installed in the 1980s to develop the eastern part of Tyra. It produces mainly gas and condensate, with well fluids routed via subsea pipelines to the central Tyra II hub for processing and export. It has minimal standalone facilities.
Field
The Tyra field is Denmark’s largest offshore gas-condensate field, located in the central Danish North Sea. Discovered in 1968 and first producing in 1984, its reservoir comprises Danian and Upper Cretaceous chalk. Tyra includes two main processing complexes (East and West) and multiple satellite wellhead platforms like Tyra EB tied back to the central hub.
Facilities
Tyra EB consists of a fixed steel wellhead platform with production wells accessing the chalk reservoir. It does not host separation or compression facilities; instead, multiphase fluids are exported via subsea pipelines and umbilicals to the redeveloped Tyra II hub, where central processing – including three-phase separation, gas conditioning, dehydration, and export – occurs. Power generation and control systems on Tyra EB are limited to essentials for well monitoring and remote operation, with communications provided to Tyra East/West. The subsea export system links Tyra satellites with the hub’s processing trains, which then route conditioned gas through export pipelines to onshore receiving facilities in Denmark and the Netherlands. Utility systems on the satellite platform include emergency power, fire and gas detection and remote SCADA interfaces, but no significant utility trains are installed locally.
