+++ Description
* The Clipper complex is the main installation for the Sole Pit fields. Situated 72 kilometres north east of the East Anglian coast in the Southern North Sea.
* The Clipper is made up of five bridge-linked platforms – the wellhead platform, a production platform, a compression platform, a Riser Platform and a metering platform.
* First operational in 1990, the installation produces and processes gas from the wells on wellhead platform and gas is also imported from the satellite platforms, producing from the **Barque** (049/16), **Cutter**, **[[[Carrack Gas Field]]]** **[[[Galleon Gas Field | Galleon]]]** and **Skiff** (048/20a) fields.
* The Barque field consists of 2 unmanned platforms, PL & PB
* The Galleon field consists of 2 unmanned platforms, PN & PG
* Cutter & Carrack have one platform each, Cutter QC and Carrack QA
* The Skiff field consist of a minimum facilities, Skiff PS, normally unmanned installation (NUI), connected via a pipeline to the Clipper platform which provides processing and export facility for the Skiff fluids of gas, condensate and water
* Gas is exported through a 24 inch diameter subsea pipeline to the [[[Bacton Gas Plant]]] in Norfolk.

+++ Contractors
* **Sembmarine SLP:**
* Clipper PR Platform - EPIC lump sum contracted project including topsides, jacket and bridges, offshore hook-up and commissioning
* Carrack QA Platform: EPC contracted project including topside, jacket and piles, offshore hook-up and commissioning
* **Rosetti Marino:** Engineering, procurement, fabrication, testing, onshore commissioning, load-out and sea fastening of the Clipper Accommodation Module with integral Utility Deck and Helideck, the link bridge, the jacket and piles.
* **Stolt Offshore:** Skiff subsea installation
