Field development and production in the United Kingdom 

StatoilHydro has been present in the United Kingdom (UK) since the early 1980s. We hold interests in four producing fields, Alba, Schiehallion, Jupiter and Caledonia, and have several oilfields under appraisal: Bressay, Mariner, Mariner East and Rosebank.

Discoveries under appraisal

We are operator for Bressay (in which we have an 81.63% interest), Mariner (in which we have a 44.44% interest) and Mariner East (in which we have a 62% interest). They are all heavy oil discoveries where studies and appraisal will continue. Current development plans for both fields consist of a fixed steel jacket with drilling, processing and quartering facilities.

Rosebank (in which we have a 30% interest), a discovery made by Chevron in 2004, is located west of the Shetland Islands. The operator is currently drilling further appraisal wells.

Fields in production

The Alba field commissioned in 1994 is located in the central part of the UK North Sea and operated by Chevron. We have a 17% interest in Alba.

Schiehallion, commissioned in 1998, is a floating, production, storage and offloader (FPSO) located west of the Shetland Islands, and the operator is BP. We have a 5.88% interest.

Jupiter is a gas field located in the southern part of the UK North Sea in which we have a 30% interest. The operator is ConocoPhillips.

Caledonia is a small single well tie-back to the Britannia platform in the central part of the North Sea in which we have a 21.32% interest. The operator is Chevron.

All fields are in a mature to late life stage of production.
