Description

• The Pickerill gas field is located in the United Kingdom Continental Shelf (UKCS) Block 48/11 in the Southern North Sea, 65km offshore from the Theddlethorpe Gas Terminal (TGT). It was discovered by well 48/11b-4, drilled by Conoco (UK) Limited in 1984, and gas development commenced in 1992.
• The Pickerill Field comprises of two normally unmanned installations (NUI); Pickerill B (44/11A) and Pickerill A (48/11B) with a maximum personnel on board (POB) of 12.
• The Juliet subsea development is located in Block 47/14B to the west of the Pickerill Field and comprises of two subsea (free flowing) wells tied into a subsea manifold, which is then connected to Pickerill A via a 12” pipeline (PL3121), 22km in length. Juliet gas was co-mingled with Pickerill gas at Pickerill A and then exported to Theddlethorpe Gas Processing Plant.
