Posted: 02 March 2005
ABERDEEN , Scotland , Feb. 24, 2005 -- ChevronTexaco Upstream Europe (CTUE) today welcomed Operator BP’s announcement of first oil production from the Clair field, 47 miles west of Shetland.
ChevronTexaco holds a 19.4% interest in Clair, which is expected to build to peak production of some 60,000 barrels of oil and 15 million cubic feet of gas per day, from the first stage of the field’s development.
Gary Luquette, President and Managing Director for CTUE, said: "We congratulate our partners for this significant achievement. This technological success in a complex heavy oil reservoir shows determination and pioneering spirit of all involved to deliver a project of importance to both to the industry and the U.K.
"Our partnership in the Clair field development highlights our commitment and focus on core high-impact opportunities both in the U.K. and throughout the world. Our recent awards in the 22nd UK Licensing Round and the Faroes 2nd Licence Round demonstrate ChevronTexaco’s commitment to its goal of long-term growth and investment in the Atlantic Margin. "
Production from Clair will add to ChevronTexaco’s existing equity production in Europe . The Clair development comprises a conventional platform with production and process topside facilities, supported by a fixed steel jacket. The development is the first steel based structure in the west of Shetland area.
Gary Luquette added: "We also applaud the strong focus on safety which has ensured that first oil has been delivered without incident."
