The Beatrice Oil Field is a small oilfield consisting of 3 platforms located 24 km off the north east coast of Scotland. It began operations in 1980 with the field finally being decommissioned in 2017.

Work is ongoing to begin removing all structures.

The 84 turbine Beatrice Offshore Windfarm now sits in the same area and was completed in 2019.[1]
