Description
- The L10 Area comprises mature gas fields on the western side of the Dutch North Sea sector centred around the L10-A complex. The focus here is on optimising production and reducing complexity while accelerating recovery and extending recoverable reserves.
- The Dutch offshore industry originated in the L10 area in the 1970s. Gas production on the Dutch continental shelf began in 1975, three years after the installation of the L10-A drilling platform. The complex now consists of four bridge-linked platforms: a drilling, a production, a riser and a compression platform. The complex includes facilities for up to 64 employees. L10-A is located 62.5 km from Den Helder.
- The L10-A gathers gas from numerous fields in the area, including Neptune-operated unmanned platforms K12-C/CC, K12-D, K12-G, K12-K, L10-B, L10-E, L10-F, L10-L and L10-M.
- Produced gas is dried on the riser platform before being exported through the Noordgastransport NGT Gas Pipeline to the processing station in Uithuizen.
