Serica Energy plc has lifted the first oil from the Triton floating production storage and offloading unit since production resumed.
GUIDANCE
The company said that production continued to increase, beginning with certain wells on the Bittern (Serica: 64.6%), Evelyn (100%), Gannet E (100%), and Guillemot West (10%) fields in the UK central North Sea.
“Triton hub production over the last two weeks has averaged 20,000 boepd net to Serica, a figure that is set to rise as more wells come back onstream as part of the planned start up sequence, including productive wells from the Bittern and Gannet E fields,” added Serica.
“New wells drilled on the Guillemot North West (Serica: 10%) and Evelyn fields are also scheduled to be brought onstream for the first time.”
Total Serica portfolio production averaged more than 50,000 boepd during the days before the Bruce hub decreased production for annual maintenance.
Work began on 16 August and is scheduled to last for around 12 days.
The company’s guidance remains at 33,000 to 35,000 boepd for the year.
