Schiehallion lies in 375 metres water depth in UK blocks 204/20, 204/25a, 204/25b, 205/16 and 205/21b and has recoverable reserves of 340 million barrels of oil.
The Schiehallion development centred on 29 seabed wells in four drilling centres, producing oil via manifolds through steel pipelines and then flexible risers into the purpose-built Schiehallion FPSO, a floating production, storage and offloading vessel.
The development was based upon producing 340 million barrels contained within the main field and a further 85 million barrels from the Loyal reservoir which overlies it.
Peak production of 154,000 barrels of oil a day is expected and the FPSO could store over 900,000 barrels.
Gas is transported on the West Of Shetlands Gas Pipeline System
The field is being redeveloped in the Quad 204 Redevelopment Project which will utilise the Glen Lyon FPSO, currently under construction
