L10-AC
L10-AC is a fixed offshore gas compression platform in the L10 gas field on the Dutch continental shelf, installed in 1987. As part of the L10-A platform complex, it supports natural gas compression for export and intra-field boosting. It is bridge-linked into the core L10 hub.

Field
The L10 gas field is a large conventional natural gas accumulation in the Southern North Sea, discovered in 1970 and producing since 1976. Rotliegendes sandstone reservoirs deliver high-calorific gas; the field acts as a hub for multiple satellite platforms.
Facilities
L10-AC's facilities are dedicated to gas compression, receiving conditioned gas from wellhead and riser platforms within the L10-A complex. It increases pressure to meet export pipeline requirements and balance flow to the main L10 processing trains. The platform ties into pipe networks and bridges that link to L10-AP and L10-AD, supporting integrated field operations. It houses compression trains, control systems, and utility modules (power generation, cooling, safety shutdown systems). Gas is exported from the hub via the 36-inch Noordgastransport trunk line to onshore facilities in Uithuizen after conditioning and compression. Its unmanned design uses remote monitoring and periodic service calls.
