The North West Hutton field is located in Block 211/27 of the UK sector of the North Sea. It is 80 miles north east of the Shetland Islands, in 473' of water. The field was discovered in 1974. Amoco (U.K.) Exploration Company is operator on behalf of British Gas North Sea Oil Holdings Limited, Amerada Petroleum Corporation of the United Kingdom Limited, Texas Eastern North Sea Inc. and Mobil North Sea Oil Limited. Attention to accuracy and alignment in drilling the wells and in fabricating and installing the template and jacket can ensure that the tieback operation is relatively straightforward. Wellhead survey tools extending from the platform through the wave zone are adversely affected by wave action. Wellhead surveys would be more conveniently and accurately performed using tools carried to the wellhead and manipulated by diver or RCV.
