Intro
Valdemar BA is a fixed steel jacket unmanned satellite wellhead platform in the Valdemar field, commissioned circa 2007 to access the Bo prospect within the field. Like Valdemar AB, it is unmanned and tied back to central Valdemar host platforms for processing and export.
Field
The Valdemar field produces crude oil and associated gas from chalk reservoirs in the Danish North Sea. It encompasses several platform complexes (Valdemar AA/AB and BA) across Blocks 5504/7 and 5504/11, developed in the 1990s and 2000s to optimize field recovery.
Facilities
Valdemar BA supports production well slots and manifold connections for hydrocarbons from the Bo reservoir area. There are no processing trains onboard; well flows are transmitted to adjacent Valdemar platforms (AA/AB) for separation, dehydration and conditioning. Remote power, control, and safety systems are supplied via host tie-backs. Export of oil and gas follows shared pipeline infrastructure, tying into the broader Danish Offshore Consortium network via Tyra West for gas and regional export lines for liquids. The installation’s structural design is a fixed jacket optimized for unmanned service with subsea flowlines and remote monitoring as key stable elements.
