Project Profile
Value: US$1.1 billion
Location: 230 km northeast of Aberdeen, UK
Reserves: 45 million barrels of oil equivalent
Peak production: >50,000 boepd
Water depth: 103 metres
Discovery year: May 2008
Start-up year: December 2014
The project will see the development of a discovery 230 kilometres northeast of Aberdeen. The field will produce through three wells, which will be tied back to a subsea manifold with four slots, including one spare for potential future production. The subsea manifold will be tied back to the Andrew platform by a 28km pipeline. The Andrew platform is located in Blocks 16/27a and 16/28 and production started in 1996. A subsea manifold will also be installed as a tieback point for a future Arundel field development as part of the Kinnoull subsea system.
