Description
- The Claymore complex produces fluids from the Claymore and Scapa oil reservoirs. It comprises two fixed steel bridge-linked platforms, the Claymore Production Platform (CPP), and Claymore Accommodation Platform (CAP) and associated subsea infrastructure, and is located about 100 miles North East of Aberdeen.
- Scapa was developed by the installation of a subsea production template linked to the Claymore Field, with new topsides facilities
- The CPP, weighing approximately 36,000 tonnes, sits on a conventional eight-legged steel jacket and provides process and drilling facilities.
- The CAP is much smaller at around 8,000 tonnes, and provides accommodation and utilities for staff, and the helideck.
- The platforms are linked by a 106m bridge
