Description
- The field was initially developed using two bridge-linked platforms known as D and PUQ respectively
- The PUQ platform, (process/utilities/quarters) and D (drilling) platform are linked by a 47 metre bridge. The PUQ platform comprises a 9400 tonne jacket and three major topside modules
- 8000 tonne cellar deck
- 7800 tonne production module
- 2500 tonne accommodation module and helipad
- The D platform comprises of an 8000 tonne jacket, a 7300 tonne three level integrated deck, drilling derrick and substructure.
- As part of Phase II Development, a 3rd platform was added to accommodate additional gas compression facilities. This platform, known as the CR platform, is bridge linked to the two original Bruce Field Platforms
- Oil and gas from the Bruce reservoir is recovered by 20 platform wells and 6 subsea wells
- A 248 kilometres long, 24-inch diameter oil export pipeline to the BP FPS Unity platform and thence into the BP-operated Forties Pipeline System
- Gas is transported by the Frigg UK Gas Pipeline System to the Fuka St Fergus Gas Processing Terminal
- The **Keith field** development involves 2 subsea manifolds tied back to the Bruce Phase II Western Area Development (WAD) manifold via a 7km pipeline.
- The Rhum Gas Field is also a subsea tie backs to Bruce
Contractors
- **Dragados:** Construction of Bruce D Platform
- **RGC Offshore:** Construction of Bruce PUQ Platform
- **Saipem:** Transport and installation of platform & pipelines
Phase II
- **Heerema:** Construction of the Jacket
- **Consafe:** Construction of the Deck
- **BiFab:** EPC Contract for Compression Platform Topsides and Bridge
- **Global Maritime:** Warranty surveyor for launch, controlled-depth tow and installation of a 7 km pipeline bundle - Keith Project
History
- 1974 - Bruce Oil And Gas Field was discovered
- 1983 - Keith Field discovered
- 1990 - Field development approval granted
- 1998 - First oil and gas produced
- 1999 - Approval granted for Keith
- 2000 - Keith comes on stream
- 2018 - Serica becomes the operator of the fields after acquiring stakes from BP, BHP and Marubeni
Geology
- The Bruce field is a complex structure of three reservoirs - Turonian limestone (gas condensate), Bruce sandstone (oil and gas condensate), and Statfjord sandstone (oil and gas condensate). It is a structural trap consisting of several separate accumulations
