Subsea-satellite development of Scapa field, U.K. North Sea sector, required only 14 months after development consent was awarded by the U.K. government. The development utilizes one of the most comprehensive and extensive subsea production systems installed in the North Sea. Scapa was developed by Occidental Petroleum (Caledonia) Ltd. in conjunction with partners Texaco Britain Ltd. (23.5%), Thomson North Sea plc (20%), and Union Texas Petroleum Ltd. (20%). The field's 42 million-bbl lower Cretaceous reservoir, 112 miles north-east of Aberdeen in Block 14/19, had been producing 7,000-10,000 b/d since September 1985 through a single deviated well from the Claymore platform 2.8 miles away. Production through its new eight-slot drilling template and manifold commenced Nov. 14, 1986. This development was made possible by the field's proximity to the Claymore platform with its production and pipeline shipping facilities.
