This paper highlights the major subsea/subsurface systems and equipment installed over the past several years in the Argyll area fields that have resulted in extended field life. Three major innovations emphasize the design philosophy of minimizing cost while maximizing flexibility, reliability, and the use of simple, existing technology. Details include the pioneering installation of gas lift, waterflooding of the Duncan field with its unique manifold system, and remote tie-in of wells 9 miles away with a simple hydraulic system.
