Description
- The Causeway Field is being developed together with the Fionn Field, using subsea production technology with a tie-back to the existing North Cormorant Platform, via the Dunlin Oil Field.
- The Fionn field development consists of one production well that is tied back approximately 3km to the Causeway pipeline to North Cormorant
- The reservoir development strategy is to maintain production with the use of electrical submersible pumps (ESPs) and water injection. The Causeway Field will comprise one oil-producing well, one contingent oil-producing well and one water-injection well.
