Repsol’s flagship £1.6billion North Sea project has come onstream.
The operator – previously known as Talisman Sinopec Energy UK – has confirmed first oil has been reported at the Shaw field in the Montrose Area Redevelopment.
The project could unlock an additional 100million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) and extend the life of the area to beyond 2030.
Topside infrastructure weighing 10,500tonnes was placed on the platform jacket by the SSCV Thialf crane vessel and then linked by bridge to the Montrose Alpha installation, about 130 miles east of Aberdeen.
The Montrose Alpha is one of the North Sea’s oldest platforms. It was installed in 1976.
