+++ Description
- The field is in water depths of some 650 metres
- Reserves are extracted using subsea wells with flowlines tied back to the [[[Nganhurra FPSO]]], a facility that can process up to 100,000 barrels of oil per day and with storage capacity of up to one million barrels
- Gaslifted wells are used to produce the Enfield fluids.
- Water injection wells are required for the disposal of produced water supplemented by injection of seawater to provide reservoir support for Enfield. Excess gas is reinjected into the reservoir.
