Intro
A fixed steel wellhead production platform in the Indefatigable area of the Southern North Sea, commissioned circa 1990 as part of the Inde cluster. It comprises multiple well slots for gas production and is physically connected into the Inde export network feeding processing hubs and shore export. The structure supports long-term stable gas production operations.
Field
The Indefatigable gas field spans several blocks in the Southern North Sea and produces from Rotliegendes sandstone reservoirs. Developed since the early 1970s, the field uses multiple bridge-linked platforms and wellhead installations, including Inde D, to deliver gas into regional processing and export infrastructure.
Facilities
Inde D is a four-legged steel jacket with a topsides well bay and primary production manifolds feeding into the wider Inde complex. Wells drilled from the platform penetrate the Rotliegend reservoir, producing gas and condensate that is routed through manifolds and flowlines to larger Inde processing platforms, which handle separation, dehydration and export compression. Export pipelines link the Inde complex to the Leman field and onward to the Bacton Gas Terminal. Utilities include platform-mounted generators for power, basic control and safety systems, and emergency shutdown mechanisms. The platform’s design focuses on dependable wellhead support and fluid transfer, with periodic inspection and maintenance rather than large on-site processing.
