Dana Petroleum Ltd. has started production from Harris and Barra oil fields in the northern North Sea (OGJ Online, Sept. 3, 2013).
The operator expects the fields, in a project it calls Western Isles, to produce as much as 44,000 boe/d.
The development, 160 km east of the Shetland Islands, involves production and water injection wells tied back to a floating production, storage, and offloading vessel servicing shuttle tankers.
The 28,000-tonne FPSO can handle production of 44,000 b/d of production and store 400,000 bbl. Water depth is 165 m.
Dana holds 77% interest. Cieco UK, London, holds 23%.
