Maersk Oil has started production from Flyndre field in the UK and Norwegian North Sea. Oil is traveling 25 km via pipeline to the Repsol Sinopec Resources-operated Clyde platform.
Production from Flyndre field is expected to peak at 10,000 bo/d and last until at least 2023. The field, discovered in 1974, lies 293 km southeast of Aberdeen on Blocks 30/13 and 30/14 in the UK North Sea and 325 km west-southwest of Stavanger on Block 1/5 (PL018C) in the Norwegian North Sea.
Flyndre is developed as a subsea tie-back to the Clyde platform with a single production well. The export route takes production from the platform via the Repsol Sinopec-operated Fulmar platform and onwards to Teesside via the Norpipe system.
