Project Profile
Value: US$150 million
Location: Licence P119 (area P), central North Sea, Block 15/29a
Start-up Year: 2018
Ptarmigan was discovered in 1994. Ptarmigan lies close to the Brenda Field. Field will be developed as a 22km tieback through the Balmoral FPV. The field in Block 15/29a will be tapped with one development well initially, tied-back by an 8 inch export pipeline. The first development well, 15/29a-T1, will be a re-entry of appraisal 15/29a-B and a second well will be drilled if the first proves successful. Peak production will occur concurrently with a gas conservation scheme at Balmoral which will eliminate gas flaring. When Ptarmigan is included, gas production is expected to be significantly higher than from current production streams due to higher gas oil ratios at Ptarmigan.
