Cod 7/11 A
- Installed in 1975
- On stream 26 December 1977
- Shut down 5 August 1998
- Removed in 2007-2018
A separate flare stack was linked to 7/11 A by a bridge. The actual platform was tied to Ekofisk 2/4 R by a 16-inch oil/gas pipeline, to the Mime field with seven- and two-inch pipelines, and to the Ula field with a 10-inch pipeline. Nine producers were drilled beneath the platform. The accommodation module provided 52 beds.
The platform jacket (support structure) and module support frame (MSF) were fabricated by UIE at St Wandrille in France, while the production modules came from Burntisland Fabricators in the UK and the drilling module from Rotterdam Dry Dock.
Installed in 1975, 7/11 A came on stream two years later. The drilling rig with its equipment was removed in October 1997, and the platform ceased production and was abandoned in 1998. In addition to cleaning the process plant, the wells were plugged and secured. The platform was removed in 2008-13.
