Summary Information

  • Operator: Ithaca
  • Country: UK
  • Location: central North Sea
  • Production start: 2017
  • Partners:
  • Type: Oil & Gas
  • Estimated Reserves:
  • Production Volume:

Description

  • The Greater Stella Area lies within United Kingdom Continental Shelf (UKCS) Block 30/06a, in the central North Sea. Block 30/06a is approximately 238km south east of Peterhead and 17km from the UK-Norway median line
  • The development includes the Stella, Harrier and Hurricane fields
  • The development scheme is likely to involve up to 5 production wells drilled from a sub-sea drilling centre on Stella and 2 further production wells drilled on Harrier. The Harrier centre will be tied back to the Stella where the hydrocarbons from both fields (oil and gas) will be combined
  • The development solution will involve the use of the FPF-1 semi-submersible floating production unit, owned by Petrofac
  • Gas is transported on the Central Area Transmission System ("CATS") to the Teesside Gas Processing Plant TGPP
  • The Vorlich field is being developed as an extension of the Stella develoment. Vorlich is a two-well development which will be tied back to the FPF-1 floating production facility
