BP starts Clair field oil production

BP PLC began production Feb. 21 from Clair oil field off the UK west of Shetland. Plateau production is expected to be 60,000 b/d of oil and 15 MMcfd of natural gas, the company said.

Oil from the field will move to the Sullom Voe terminal in Shetland through a 105 km, 22-in. pipeline. Gas will move through a 10 km, 6-in. spur to the Magnus enhanced oil recovery trunkline.

The reservoir, which covers five license blocks—206/7a, 206/12, 206/8, 206/13a, and 206/9—has an estimated 5 billion bbl of oil in place.
