Dan C

Dan C is a fixed steel jacket separator and flare platform installed in 1972 at the Dan oil field in the Danish North Sea. It forms part of the Dan Bravo cluster alongside Dan A and Dan B, providing secondary separation capacity and gas flaring infrastructure. Dan C does not carry accommodation but contributes to early field processing and safety management.

Field

The Dan field's chalk reservoirs were developed using multiple platforms; Dan C augments the original complex's ability to manage fluids and gas safely. Its role in providing separation and flare capacity was integral to early production operations.

Facilities

Dan C's infrastructure comprises separators for additional fluid phase handling and a flare stack to safely dispose of excess gas. Gas and liquids from nearby wellhead platforms can be routed through Dan C's separators prior to delivery to Dan B or Dan FC for full processing. The flare infrastructure is designed with ignition systems, pilots, flame monitoring and emergency shutdown valves, ensuring safe combustion of hydrocarbons during process upsets or maintenance. Utility systems include instrument power, remote monitoring and safety interlocks integrated with the Dan field's SCADA system. Dan C's connections via bridge and pipeline tie it into the Dan Bravo complex, supporting coordinated fluid management across the original wellhead installations.
