Hi

I've looked all over the internet for the answer to this but I don't seem to be having much luck. I was wondering what the name of the rigs are that are in view when the A9 reaches Latheron?

Thanks for any help!

The oil rigs you can see from this location are 12 miles out and sitting on the Smith Bank.

The oil field is called the Beatrice Field.



heres a link with some info

Yes, as Annemarie has said they're the Beatrice Alpha, Bravo and Charlie. It's an old field but still producing a few thousand barrels a day.

You can also see the two wind turbines providing them with power on a clear day.

I'm not sure if it's still there, but the jack-up drilling rig that was there a month or so ago was the Northern Offshore "Energy Enhancer"
