- Estimated Reserves:
- Production Volume:
Description
- The field was initially developed from two pools of oil: Harding Central and South. Since then, two further pools have been developed: Harding South East and by extended reach drilling, Harding North.
- The Morrone field (block 9/23b) is 5 km south of the Harding platform. The initial phase of development will consist of an extended reach well drilled from Harding.
- The oil from the Harding field requires a form of offshore storage. This is because the crude is heavy and naphthenic
- The field utilises a steel self elevating production jackup
- Gas is exported by a subsea tie-back of the Devenick Gas Field and a gas export pipeline to connect the gas platform to the Brae gas transmission pipeline
- From here, gas is transported to the SAGE St Fergus Gas Processing Terminal via the Scottish Area Gas Evacuation (SAGE) Pipeline
Contractors
- **Hyundai:** Construction of the production drilling and accommodation facility
- **Aker Marine:** Harding installation
- **Aker Solutions:** Gas Processing - conceptual, FEED and detailed engineering
- **AMEC:** Engineering and project management contract for Harding offshore gas project
