Ravenspurn CPP
The Ravenspurn North Central Production Platform (CPP) is a concrete gravity oil and gas processing platform in the Southern North Sea, installed in 1989. It handles natural gas from the Ravenspurn North field and supports export via pipeline to the Cleeton hub.

Field
The Ravenspurn gas fields are Permian sandstone reservoirs in UK Blocks 42/30 and 43/26a of the Southern North Sea, discovered in the 1980s. Ravenspurn North produces dry gas with associated condensates, developed with concrete gravity and satellite installations tied to export infrastructure.
Facilities
Ravenspurn CPP consists of a concrete gravity base supporting topsides with multiphase separators, gas dehydration via glycol contactors, metering, and export compression. Wells deliver fluids to slug catchers and separators; dry gas is dehydrated, metered and exported through a 24" pipeline to the Cleeton hub for further processing and entry into the UK gas network. Utilities include power generation, control systems, fire/gas detection, chemical injection for corrosion/hydrate control, and produced water handling. The structure interfaces with a bridge-linked wellhead tower (WT1) that gathers production. Redundant safety systems and emergency shutdown valves ensure safe operations in the Southern North Sea environment.
