Tern oil platform

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.
