Infrastructure Data
The technical and commercial information is presented here in line with the principles and procedures of the Oil and Gas UK: Code of Practice on Access to Upstream Oil and Gas Infrastructure (ICOP), in order to facilitate prospective third party access to the Brae Area Infrastructure.
North Sea Hub
Strategically positioned at the hub of activities in the Central North Sea, the Brae Area Infrastructure has grown both in size and importance over the past twenty years and is now one of the most successful hubs supporting cost effective offshore developments in the region. Over 25 third parties currently rely on the Brae Area for transporting and processing facilities.
Marginal Prospects
The Brae Area's success in attracting and assisting the development of marginal prospects in the area is founded on the system's ability to provide a range of comprehensive and flexible services, coupled with clear cost advantages over standalone developments.
Latest Tiebacks
The Enoch field, lying on the UK/Norwegian median line, is shortly to be processed via a tieback to the Brae Alpha platform and in the near future the Harding Area Gas Project (HAGP), a gas hub producing Harding and Devenick gas, will tie into the 18-in Bravo-East subsea crossover line.
Brae - Into the Future
With proven consistency, plus the flexibility to conduct enhancements to the Brae platforms, the Brae Group offers attractive and cost effective benefits to third-party operators. The strategic focus on developing third party business has resulted in an enviable track record for achieving offshore tie-in programs on schedule and within competitive budgets. Marathon and the Brae Group intend to maximize the use of this strategic hub well into the long-term future.
