The Tyne fields are located in block 44/18a in the Southern North Sea approximately 188km off the coast of Norfolk and 184km off East Yorkshire. The Tyne Fields are situated in a water depth of 19.8 metres. The Tyne field was discovered by well 44/18-1 in 1992. Production started in November 1996. Due to reduction of gas production, continued operations were uneconomical and the field ceased production in November 2015. The Tyne platform was installed in 1996 and exports wet gas through a 20” line to the Trent Platform Mobile Offshore Application Barge (MOAB).
The fields comprise three separate accumulations, each with a different gas-water contact and varying gas compositions, which are known as Tyne North, Tyne South and Tyne West. The three accumulations are combined structural and stratigraphical traps. The reservoir sandstones are of the Lower Ketch member of the Schooner Formation and are Carboniferous Westphalian C/D in age. The fields have been developed through long reach development wells.
