Summary Information
- Operator: BP
- Country: UK
- Location: In the Atlantic, 100 miles to the west of Shetland and Orkney
- Production start: 1998
- Partners: Shell - 55%, BP - 33.5%; OMV 11.8%
- Type: Oil
- Estimated Reserves: recoverable reserves of 340 million barrels of oil at start up
- Production Volume:
Description
- 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
