Description
- A stand-alone development, in a water depth of 115 meters, accesses separate gas/condensate and oil reservoirs.
- It includes the installation of an integrated wellhead, production and accommodation platform.
- Processed gas will be exported to St Fergus Gas Processing Plants in the UK via a new link to the existing Frigg UK Pipeline (FUKA).
- Liquids will be sent to a dedicated storage vessel where water is separated for reinjection, and oil will be exported via shuttle tankers

Geology
- The reservoir is structurally complex, and contains gas at high temperatures and pressure.
- There are three reservoirs in Middle Jurassic sandstones in the Brent Group at a depth of 3 700–4 400 metres.
- Oil has also been proven in a reservoir of Eocene age at approximately 1 750 metres.
