Maersk Oil Gets Go-Ahead for North Sea Balloch Field

Maersk Oil UK announced Monday that the company had received FDP (Field Development Plan) approval from the Department of Energy and Climate Change for the Balloch oil field, 140 miles north east of Aberdeen in the Central North Sea.
Balloch, which Maersk Oil holds a 100 percent interest in, was discovered in 2010 and is situated close to Maersk Oil UK's highly successful Dumbarton development. Production will initially be through one well and tied back to the Global Producer III FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading facility), which currently produces oil from the Dumbarton and Lochranza fields. The first well is expected to peak around 8,000 barrels of oil per day with first oil in April 2013, and a second well is being planned. The total reserves from the two wells are estimated to be nine million barrels of oil.
The total investment in the two Balloch wells is expected at a level of $226.4 million (GBP 150 million).
