Jersey Oil and Gas has awarded contracts to Rockflow Resources and Petrofac for the development of its licences in the Greater Buchan Area (GBA).
Rockflow will provide subsurface evaluation support and Petrofac will lay on facilities and well support for the concept selection phase of the GBA project.
Jersey recently secured a number of licences in the area, including the acreage containing the Buchan field.
The London-listed firm thinks it can produce 120 million barrels of oil from GBA, using the Buchan field as the focal point.

We are thrilled to be supporting the next stage of this exciting development.

This opportunity enables us to bring that experience together and fully integrate our services to develop a concept that will maximise recovery.”
