Tern oil platform

Tern oil platform

The Tern oil platform, often just the Tern, is an oil field and oil platform operated in the Shetland basin by Shell/ExxonMobil.

All of this consortium's UK northern and central assets are referred to by the names of various seabirds (though when they have bought assets from other operators, they have sometimes retained existing names).

The Tern is a steel jacket production and drilling platform. As well as processing the fluids from the Tern reservoir, the platform also processes fluids from the Hudson and Kestrel fields. Once processed, the oil is comingled and exported to Sullom Voe via the North Comorant and Comorant Alpha platforms.

Located in block 210/25 of the North Sea, the platform started production in 1989 from the Tern oilfield. The Hudson Field which is located in 210/24, started producing over the platform in 1993 after first having been tied back to an FPSO. The most recent addition to the Tern platform was the Kestrel Field, located in 211/21a, this small subsea tieback started production in 2001.
