Intro
A fixed steel-jacket wellhead platform in the Rough Bravo complex (47/3B) of the Southern North Sea Rough field, installed 1984 and first active in 1985. It supports wellhead duties and tie-ins feeding the BP compressor/processing hub. (turn0search24)
Field
As part of the Rough Bravo infrastructure, CD contributes to reservoir storage injection/withdrawal, aiding the UK’s seasonal gas management. The gross Rotliegendes field underlies both the Bravo and Alpha clusters. (turn0search24)
Facilities
Rough CD hosts well slots and flowlines that tie directly into the Bravo complex processing and compression infrastructure. It facilitates injection and withdrawal well connections, feeding fluids into the main BP processing trains. Its jacket supports the well trees, manifolds and riser bases, with minimal topside processing, as bulk separation and compressor functions are consolidated on BP. The utility package includes platform power for local controls, safety shutdown systems, and instrumentation integrated with the Bravo control network. Overall, CD functions to bridge field wells and central processing, allowing reservoir flow management and automated tie-ins across the Bravo cluster. (turn0search24)
