Project Profile
Location: Dutch North Sea
Located in a restricted military zone, K18-Golf had to be developed subsea and within a short time window. Gas is produced via subsea pipeline to the K15-FA platform 10 km north. The K15-FA platform is part of the K15 gas fields located offshore the Netherlands which began production in 1977. The gas will be treated there to sales specification before being sent to Den Helder on the Dutch mainland via the Wintershall-operated WGT pipeline network.
Wintershall has a 41.7% interest in K18-Golf. EBN BV has 40%, Nederlandse Aardolie Mij. 15.9%, Tullow Oil PLC 2.2%, and Oranje-Nassau Energie 0.2%. Wintershall was awarded the Block K18 concession in 1983 and discovered the field in 2005.
