Oil platform 'The Bruce' off-shore Scotland
The Bruce off-shore platform complex consisting of three bridge-linked
units: PUQ (process, quarters, utilities), CR (compression reception)
and D a drilling platform. The Bruce reservoir was discovered in 1974
and is linked to the St. Fergus Terminal via a 32-inch diameter pipeline

Off-shore platforms are large
structures used to house
workers and machinery
needed to process crude oil
and natural gas from wells
in the seabed.

Depending on water depths
at the continental shelf,
the platform is attached
to the ocean floor or is
floating (FPSO Floating
Production Storage and
Offloading).

Most platforms today have
remote wellheads attached
by flexible connections,
these may be single wells
or a manifold centre for
multiple wells.
