Description
- Dumbarton is located in blocks 15/20a and 15/20b in the UK North Sea, in 140 meters of water, 225 kilometers north east of Aberdeen
- The field was originally called Donan
- As Donan, it was abandoned in 1997 after producing 15.3 million barrels of oil in five years from its sandstone reservoir through a Single Well Oil Production System (SWOPS). The field was blighted by poor reservoir pressure and it was left with the oil produced containing 70 percent water.
- The field has been developed using six subsea wells tied into the Global Producer III FPSO
- The Lochranza Oil Field and Balloch Oil Field are also tied back to the FPSO
