BP PLC expects production to begin in 2020 from Vorlich gas condensate field in the Central North Sea, for which it has received development approval from the UK Oil and Gas Authority (OGJ Online, Apr. 16, 2018).
Vorlich will produce as much as 20,000 b/d of condensate from two wells completed subsea and tied back to Ithaca Energy Ltd.’s FPF-1 floating production vessel at the center of the Greater Stella Area hub.
Vorlich is in 75 m of water on Block 30/1c UPPER, 241 km east of Aberdeen. BP expects to recover more than 30 million boe of hydrocarbons.
BP, operator, has a 66% interest. Ithaca Energy holds 34%.
