Production has started on the Apache-operated Bacchus development in the central North Sea, it was announced today.
Endeavour International, which has a 30% share in the field, said initial production rates from the first production well over the first five days were about 6,000 barrels of oil per day.
Drilling on the second development well started on April 20. It is expected that this well will start producing early in the third quarter.
“We are very pleased with the well performance from our first development well at Bacchus,” said Bill Transier, Endeavour’s chairman, chief executive and president.
He added: “We are now focused on the second of the development wells and we look forward to having the full development program completed as the year progresses.”
