Sterling Resources, an international oil and gas company, has reported that the company has started the development drilling operations at Breagh, located in the UK Southern North Sea.
The company has deployed the Ensco 70 rig in order to begin the development drill program at the Breagh field and is expecting the initial gas production from the field in Q3 of this year. The company will re-enter and sidetrack the formerly drilled wells 42/13-5Z and 42/13-3 in order to re-drill the reservoir interval. These wells were previously suspended for future use. After re-drilling these two wells, the company is expecting to drill up to eight new development wells and start the production in the next two years.
The Breagh field is situated in 42/12a and 42/13a, UKCS blocks of the North Sea’s southern part at a water depth of 62 m, around 100 km towards eastern part of Teesside. This field is a usual Carboniferous reservoir and will initially produce at a large scale for the company. The Breagh Alpha platform that is located in the field’s west area will collect gas from the wells.
The company will export gas to Coatham Sands by means of the 100 km, 20 in. pipeline and for processing at the Teesside Gas Processing Plant (TGPP) through a 10 km onshore pipeline. The gas will be transmitted to the UK National Transmission System, after processing gas at the TGPP. The maximum potential of the onshore plant and Breagh pipeline is 400 MMcf/d and offers the flexibility for gas transportation from possible satellite fields.
Sterling Resources possess a 30% interest in the Breagh field. RWE Dea holds remaining 70% in this field and is the operator.
