Intro
BP is a jack-up production platform in the West Inde sub-area of the Indefatigable gas field (Block 49/18), installed in 1973. It receives fluids from BD wells and produces dry gas and condensate, routing to hubs like AT for processing and export to shore.
Field
BP serves the West Indefatigable reservoir compartment of the Rotliegend gas field, contributing to the integrated development that links multiple platforms and subsea systems to onshore processing terminals.
Facilities
BP hosts production wellheads and primary manifolds on a mobile jack-up structure adapted for long-term stand. Fluids are discharged via flowlines toward gathering points at AT or central export infrastructure. The platform includes emergency shutdown and basic control systems; major processing and compression are handled downstream. Power and control utilities connect via subsea umbilicals. Export gas flows through field export pipelines to the Bacton Gas Terminal network.
