Intro
Ravn was an offshore wellhead installation in the Danish North Sea tied to the Ravn oil field, which commenced production in 2017. The field was marginal in scale, with production suspended around 2020 and decommissioning being planned. The platform served as the primary production support node for the field.
Field
The Ravn field, located in Block 5504 of the Danish North Sea, produced oil from Upper Jurassic Heno sandstone reservoirs. Discovered in 1986, it saw limited production from 2017 until operations were halted in 2020. The field was developed on a marginal basis due to its small reserve size.
Facilities
The Ravn installation hosted wellheads and manifold flowlines connected to subsea tie-backs and export systems. It lacked large processing modules onboard; produced fluids were routed to other installations or directly exported. Given the field’s short life and planned decommissioning, detailed facilities data are minimal, but typical features included well control systems, subsea pipeline interfaces, and basic utilities for remote operation. Hydrocarbon export infrastructure was coordinated with neighboring platforms or pipeline networks. Safety and control systems included standard emergency shutdown, metering, and remote monitoring consistent with small field developments.
