Project Profile
Value: US$500 million
Location: 200 miles northeast of Aberdeen
Start-up Year: 2011
Water Depth: 110m
The project aims to further improve gas recovery/utilisation from the Harding field. The project was approved in 1998 (W/395/1998) but the completion design has changed. As a sidetrack, there will be minimal drilling, with low toxicity oil-based mud (ltobm) contaminated cuttings re-injected. There have been no significant impacts that have been identified from the proposed activity and it is unlikely to affect any possible future SAC that may be identified in the area. In view of this a direction that an Environmental Statement need not be prepared, was issued to BP Amoco, on 22 December 2000.
