Production has started at the Laggan and Tormore gas and condensate fields located in 600 m (1,969 ft) of water in the West of Shetland area, Total said in a news release.
The fields will produce 90,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d).
“The innovative subsea-to-shore development concept, the first of its kind in the United Kingdom, has no offshore surface infrastructure and benefits from both improved safety performance and lower costs,” Arnaud Breuillac, president of E&P for Total, said in the release.
The Laggan-Tormore development consists of a 140-km (87-mile) tieback of four subsea wells to the new onshore Shetland Gas Plant which has a capacity of 500 million standard cubic feet per day, according to the release. Following treatment at the gas plant, the gas is exported to the mainland via the Shetland Island Regional Gas Export System and the condensates are exported via the Sullom Voe Terminal.
Total E&P UK operates Laggan-Tormore with a 60% interest. Partners are DONG E&P (UK) Ltd., 20% and SSE E&P UK Ltd., 20%.
