Production Deck
For a brief history on the Esmond field refer to 1984 Esmond, Forbes, Gordon – Jackets and Piles section in the Projects Gallery.
In January 1985 Hamilton Brothers awarded the Ardersier Yard a contract to build the 4,900 Tonne Topsides which acted as the Central Processing Complex (CPC Deck) within the Company’s Esmond Forbes and Gordon development. The Deck was designed as the production hub for the three un-manned satellite Wellhead platforms located within the fields as well as being designed to accommodate the personnel required to operate the platforms.
The Esmond CPC Deck sailed from the Yard in April 1995 and following offshore installation the start-up of the facilities commenced in June 1985. Dismantling and removal of the Esmond, Forbes and Gordon offshore platforms took place in the mid 1990’s.
