Esmond, Forbes and Gordon gas fields

Esmond, Forbes and Gordon are three adjacent, now depleted, natural gas fields in the southern North Sea, 170 km east of Teesside.

They were configured as a central processing complex (Esmond) and two unmanned satellites, Forbes and Gordon.

[3] Processing facilities on Esmond comprised gas/condensate/water separation, Tri-ethylene glycol (TEG) dehydration, and provision for 20,000 bhp of gas compression.

[4] Decommissioning was approved in 1993-5; the Forbes platform was recovered to shore in 1993, the Esmond and Gordon installations were taken to a yard in the Netherlands for dismantling in 1995.

The remainder was renamed EAGLES East Anglia Gas And Liquids Evacuation System Pipeline.
