Project: The Catcher Area Development is located in Block 28/9 of the UK Continental Shelf approximately 180km east of Aberdeen. The development consists of three discoveries, Catcher, Varadero and Burgman, located in a water depth of approximately 90m. Each field is linked via a subsea tie-back to a Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO)vessel, exporting oil by shuttle tanker and gas by a 10” pipeline connected to the existing Fulmar pipeline. Gas for gas lift and fuel is imported through the gas export pipeline when the Catcher Area reservoirs become gas deficient. The FPSO is located centrally between the three subsea developments and can process up to 60,000 barrels of oil a day. The development comprises 14 production and eight water injection wells. Two drilling templates will be installed at each drill centre as part of the work scope.
