Statoil has published video footage of its Mariner B floating storage unit on the internet.
The development of the Mariner field is expected to contribute to more than 250million barrels of reserves with an average plateau production of around 55,000 barrels per day.
The Mariner B vessel arrived at Global Energy Group’s Nigg Energy Park at the end of August to take on a fiscal metering package ahead of its deployment to the field.
Production is expected to commence in 2018.
The Mariner field was discovered in 1981 but it wasn’t until 2007 that Statoil entered the license as operator in a bid to unlock its resources.
The Norwegian Oil Giant was given the go-ahead for production in 2012.
