Intro
A fixed wellhead platform in the Leman Alpha area (Block 49/26), providing well slots and flowline interfaces feeding the Leman A processing hub. Bridge-linked within the cluster of Alpha jackets enabling centralized processing and export.
Field
AD serves the Leman gas field’s Rotliegendes reservoir, routing production gas through the Alpha hub. High reservoir continuity in Rotliegendes sands ensures integration across multiple AD subsections.
Facilities
AD collects well fluids and delivers them to the larger Alpha separation and compression network. Its role includes wellhead control and routing of fluids into the main processing headers. Because AD platforms are bridge-linked, utilities and control systems are shared with companion jackets (AC, AP, AK, etc.) to enable integrated dehydration, compression, export metering and pipeline interfacing. Importantly, gas from AD ties into the complex’s pipeline that leads directly to Bacton Gas Terminal.
