Ravenspurn B

Ravenspurn B is a fixed steel jacket wellhead and production platform in the Ravenspurn South field, installed in 1989 in UK Block 42/30. It produces dry gas and condensate and routes fluids to Cleeton via pipeline. B is adjacent to A and works in concert with surrounding South installations within the field cluster.

Field

As with Ravenspurn A, the B installation serves the Permian sandstone Ravenspurn South gas field in the Southern North Sea. The field's development comprises multiple small wellhead platforms feeding into the Cleeton hub with recoverable volumes in the high billions of cubic metres.

Facilities

Ravenspurn B accommodates several gas production wells tied into its steel jacket structure. Fluids are combined and routed through primary separation on the platform before transfer to the Cleeton facility via the 16-inch export pipeline. Water and condensate management follow environmental standards; separated water is discharged overboard after treatment. The platform's utilities support production control, electrical distribution, and safety systems. Significant processing (dehydration, compression, and metering) is managed at the Cleeton hub or other central facilities. South B's wellhead and initial separation function integrate into the broader South field infrastructure, allowing efficient export to shore via the established pipeline network.
