AbstractThe Lower Cretaceous Britannia Field development is one of the largest and most significant undertaken on the UK Continental Shelf. Production started in 1998 via 17 pre-drilled development wells and was followed by a decade of intensive drilling, whereby a further 40 wells were added. In 2000 Britannia's plateau production of 800 MMscfgd supplied 8% of the UK's domestic gas requirements.As the field has matured, so too has its development strategy. Initial near-field development drilling targeting optimal reservoir thickness was followed by extended reach wells into the stratigraphic pinchout region. In 2014 a further strategy shift was made, moving from infill drilling to a long-term compression project to maximize existing production. During its 20-year history the Britannia Platform has undergone numerous changes. In addition to compression, production from five satellite fields has been routed through the facility: Caledonia (2003), Callanish and Brodgar (2008), Enochdhu (2015) and Alder (2016). A new field, Finlaggan, is due to be brought through Britannia's facilities in 2020, helping to maximize value from the asset for years to come.As Britannia marks 20 years of production it has produced c. 600 MMboe – surpassing the original ultimate recoverable estimate of c. 570 MMboe – and is still going strong today.

AbstractThe Shearwater Field is a high-pressure–high-temperature (HPHT) gas condensate field located 180 km east of Aberdeen in UKCS Blocks 22/30b and 22/30e within the East Central Graben. Shell UK Limited operates the field on behalf of co-venturers Esso Exploration and Production UK Limited and Arco British Limited, via a fixed steel jacket production platform and bridge-linked wellhead jacket in a water depth of 295 ft.Sandstones of the Upper Jurassic Fulmar Formation constitute the primary reservoir upon which the initial field development was sanctioned; however, additional production has been achieved from intra-Heather Formation sandstones, as well as from the Middle Jurassic Pentland Formation. Following first gas in 2000, a series of well failures occurred such that by 2008 production from the main field Fulmar reservoir had ceased. This resulted in a shut-in period for the main field from 2010 before a platform well slot recovery and redevelopment drilling campaign reinstated production from the Fulmar reservoir in 2015. In addition to replacement wells, the redevelopment drilling also included the design and execution of additional wells targeting undeveloped reservoirs and near-field exploration targets, based on the lessons learned during the initial development campaign, resulting in concurrent production from all discovered reservoirs via six active production wells by 2018.
