Aberdeen oil firm Dana Petroleum said its Triton floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel had successfully extracted its 200millionth barrel from the North Sea.
Triton – located in the central UK North Sea, 120 miles east of Aberdeen – produces oil and gas from the Bittern, Guillemot West and North West, Clapham, Pict and Saxon fields.
The FPSO produced first oil from Bittern back in April 2000.
Dana was a non-operated partner in the Bittern field from 2010 and became operator of Triton in October 2012.
Paul Griffin, Dana’s UK managing director, said: “The Triton team takes a huge amount of pride in this significant milestone and accomplishment, which symbolises over a decade of safe, reliable operations.
“But it also marks the opening of a brand new chapter in the Triton journey, and gives Dana valuable experience as we prepare to operate the Western Isles FPSO.”
