Hartshead Resources NL submitted its Phase I Concept Select Report (CSR) for Anning and Somerville gas field developments to the North Sea Transition Authority.

The fields—in license P2607 on the UK Continental Shelf—have historic production, multiple well penetrations, 3D seismic coverage, and combined remaining resources of 324 bcf gas (2C contingent resources), the company said in a release May 31.

The development concept consists of six production wells from two wireline-capable, normally unmanned installation platforms at Anning and Somerville. The platforms will connect subsea to third-party infrastructure for transportation and processing for entry into the UK gas network.

Front-end engineering and design (FEED) is expected to begin in the coming months, together with preparations for project financing of Phase I development, the company said.

Hartshead is 100% owner and operator of the license.
