ConocoPhillips aims to build three offshore platforms in the east Irish Sea, the US oil firm said in Aberdeen yesterday.
Outlining its plans for the UK, ConocoPhillips said it was now committed to the area despite it looking to sell off most of its southern North Sea assets just a few years ago.
Its current projects in the UK include the Jasmine and Katy developments in the southern North Sea.
But from next year the firm will be looking to develop opportunities in the east Irish Sea as well as projects on its central North Sea Britannia platform.
Patrick Shearer, contracts and procurement specialist at Conoco-Phillips, told delegates at Oil and Gas UK’s Pilot Share Fair the company would also be tying in Chevron’s high-temperature, high-pressure Alder field into the Britannia platform.
Other work on Britannia will see ConocoPhillips tying in the Chevron operated Enochdhu subsea development and continuing with the installation of “the largest compressor in the North Sea”.
