France-based GDF Suez announced that the Juliet field in the Southern Gas Basin is now producing at its plateau rate of 80MMsqcfg/d. This is the equivalent to 400,000bbl/month.
The fast track project has been executed and successfully delivered in a time frame of less than 18 months from sanction to first gas.
Jean-Claude Perdigues, General Manager GDF Suez E&P UK said: “The start-up of the second Juliet well is a significant step in the evolution of GDF Suez in the UK as it marks the transition of the Juliet development to a fully producing asset. It also underpins our commitment to continuously developing the potential of the United Kingdom Continental Shelf (UKCS) and the value that can be derived in a mature region through the efficient use of existing infrastructure.”
Produced gas is being transported by a 22 km pipeline to the Pickerill A platform and then transported onshore via the existing export pipeline to the Theddlethorpe gas terminal.
The Juliet field was discovered by GDF Suez E&P UK in December 2008 by vertical well 47/14b-10 which found a dry gas accumulation. The Juliet reservoir is considered to be fully appraised Rotliegendes Leman Sandstone reservoir with gross associated reserves of 11.6MMboe. The field lies in Block 47/14b, license P614.
GDF Suez is also operator of the Cygnus field and the UK license operator of the Orca field in the Southern North Sea.
