Wintershall Noordzee has started production from its Ravn oilfield in Block 5/06 of the Danish North Sea. 

The field started producing oil from a depth of nearly 4,000m through a newly constructed production platform approximately 300km from the Dutch town Den Helder.

Oil produced is transported to the Wintershall Noordzee’s A6-A processing platform through a subsea pipeline.

Located around 18km from the Ravn platform, the processing platform is fed into the existing export network to the Netherlands. 

Wintershall Noordzee managing director Robert Frimpong said: “Production start-up of the Ravn field has commenced thanks to the perseverance, innovation and dedication of our teams.

“Ravn paves the way for potential further oil and gas developments in this region.”
