The Miller field is a deep reservoir under the North Sea, 240 kilometres northeast of Peterhead in UKCS Blocks 16/7b and 16/8b. It was discovered in 1982 by BP in a water depth of 100 metres. Production from Miller field started in June 1992, and plateau production was from late 1992 to 1997 at rates of up to 150,000 barrels (24,000 m3) of oil and 255 mmscf of gas per day.
**Miller field decommissioning programme approved by DECC (BEIS) currently in progress. Next phases include pipeline spools removal, platform removal (window until Q3 2018), onshore disposal (window until end-2019), debris clearance and final survey (window until Q3 2019).
