HOUSTON, Jan. 6 -- Total SA reported production has started from Forvie North gas and condensate field on UK North Sea Block 3/15, 440 km northeast of Aberdeen, in 120 m of water.

Total owns 100% of the field, which was developed as a satellite to Alwyn North, 33 km away. A high-pressure, gas-condensate pipeline was built from Forvie North to Alwyn North.

The Forvie North subsea system has expansion capacity to allow the tie-in of additional wells (OGJ Online, Apr. 7, 2005). At plateau, Forvie North is expected to produce 20,000 boe/d.
