The Piper Bravo is a North Sea oil production platform originally operated by Occidental Petroleum (Caledonia) Ltd. It was built to replace the Piper Alpha platform, which was destroyed by a fire and subsequent series of explosions in 1988. It is located approximately 120 metres from the wreck buoy marking the remains of its precursor (at 58°27′35″N 0°15′04″E / 58.45972°N 0.25111°E / 58.45972; 0.25111{{#coordinates:58|27|35|N|0|15|04|E|type:landmark_scale:5000000 | |name= }}).
