Tailwind Energy Ltd. started production at the Evelyn oil and gas discovery in UK Central North Sea license P.1792, Block 21/30f, via a subsea tieback to the Triton FPSO.

The subsea execution phase was led by Dana Petroleum (E&P) Ltd. and TechnipFMC, which tied back the EV-01z horizontal development well (drilled in 2021) to the Triton FPSO about 6 km to the northeast of Evelyn via a subsea production line and umbilical services line. Dana Petroleum is operator of the vessel. 

In the same campaign, the project team installed a second subsea production line from Gannet-E field, which already produces via Triton. The flowline was commissioned and brought into production Sept. 11, allowing for increased production from the existing three Gannet E wells and debottlenecking for a fourth well, which is expected to be drilled in this year's fourth quarter and brought into production via the new line in first-quarter 2023.

Evelyn and the Gannet-E expansion projects are expected to add over 10,000 boe/d to Tailwind net production.

Tailwind has 100% equity in Evelyn.
