The Eastern Trough Area Project, commonly known as ETAP, is a network of nine smaller oil and gas fields in the Central North Sea covering an area up to 35 km in diameter There are a total of nine different fields, six operated by BP and another three operated by Shell, and together, they are a rich mix of geology, chemistry, technology and equity arrangements.

2023年12月28日 · The ETAP hub had an estimated production life of 20-25 years, with decommissioning planned to begin in 2023. However, a $1bn investment programme in 2015 extended the life to the 2030s. In November 2023, BP announced the start of production from the Seagull field, making it the first tieback to the ETAP hub in 20 years.

Clair Phase One. With an estimated seven billion barrels of oil in place, the Clair field is the largest oilfield on the UK Continental Shelf. The field, located 75 kilometers west of Shetland, was discovered in 1977, but challenging reservoir characteristics and the technological limits of the time meant it was the mid-1990s before the field saw extensive drilling, and 2001 before bp and ...

2021年3月25日 · Etap reserves. Each field is not commercially viable for standalone developments because of its small scale. Their combined reserves are estimated to be around 490MMbpd, 35MMbpd of natural gas condensate and around 2 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas. The Etap project began production in 1998 with seven reservoirs.

Seagull is a high pressure, high temperature (HPHT) filed located 10 miles south of the ETAP CPF and is a four-well development. Production is delivered via a new three-mile subsea pipeline which connects to an existing pipeline system. A new 10-mile umbilical has been installed, linking the ETAP CPF to the Seagull field, providing control ...

2024年12月31日 · The Eastern Trough Area Project (ETAP) was established to develop several oil and gas accumulations which were unlikely to prove commercial on a standalone basis. Phase one of the joint development comprised of seven fields: Machar, Marnock, Mungo and Monan (operated by BP), and Egret, Heron and Skua (operated by Shell, but now ceased).

The Seagull offshore oil field development project involves four production wells and associated subsea structures tied-back to the ETAP central processing facility. A new 5km-long pipe-in-pipe production line will connect the Seagull development to the Egret manifold, while a 17km-long control umbilical will be laid from ETAP central ...

2019年4月5日 · It lies 17km south of the Eastern Trough Area Project (ETAP) central processing facility (CPF) and 80km south of the Forties field, which is the biggest oilfield in the UK North Sea. Seagull oil field discovery and reserves. Seagull oil field was discovered by the 22/29-2 and 22/29-2S1 wells drilled in 1991 by Shell UK.

2022年5月5日 · The Murlach project is a planned offshore oil field redevelopment in the North Sea, UK. Previously known as the Skua field, it is expected to start production in June 2025. BP Exploration Operating Company (BPEOC), a subsidiary of BP, is the operator of the Murlach redevelopment project with a stake of 80%, while the remaining 20% interest is ...
