The British Oil Company BP Received Support From UK Authorities to Proceed With the Development of the Alligin Field, West of Shetland.

According to BP, the field aims for 20 million barrels of oil equivalent and is expected to produce 12,000 gross barrels of oil equivalent per day at peak. Alligin is located 140 kilometers west of Shetland in a water depth of 475 meters. It is part of the Greater Schiehallion area. The development of Alligin will consist of two wells, which will be tied to the existing Schiehallion and Loyal subsea infrastructure, using the processing and export facilities of the floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel Glen Lyon. It is expected to be operational in 2020.

BP stated that the wells would be drilled using Odfjel Drilling’s semi-submersible drilling rig Deepsea Aberdeen.

Ariel Flores, BP’s Regional President in the North Sea, said: “Alligin is part of our privileged oil story, unlocking stranded reserves and tying them back to existing infrastructure. Developments like this have shorter design cycles, allowing us to bring new production online faster. These subsea tiebacks complement our larger start-ups and reinforce BP’s commitment to the North Sea.”

Brenda Wyllie, West of Shetland and Manager of the North Sea Area at the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA), a body that granted approval, said: “The Oil and Gas Authority is pleased to consent to the development of the Alligin field. This accelerated project will maximize economic recovery through the utilization of capacity on the FPSO Glen Lyon and is a good example of the competitive advantage available to operators of the extensive installed infrastructure in the UKCS.”

BP holds a 50 percent stake in the Alligin field, with its partner Shell retaining the remaining 50 percent.
