Sep. 2012 - The Duart field was shut in on 26 July due to a process shutdown on the host Tartan platform and remains shut-in. Bridge received notification from the operator of the Duart field that, while they are working to find solutions to accelerate the availability of the Tartan platform, Duart production is expected to restart in October 2013. Bridge holds a 50% working interest in the Duart field. Bridge will not be exposed to operating costs whilst Duart production is shut-in.

Aug. 2012 - Talisman Energy stated that the Duart field, which was shut-in on July 26 due to a process shutdown on the host Tartan platform, remains shut-in to date. During the shut-in period, additional technical issues have come to light which are preventing the restart of gas processing on the Tartan platform. The gas process is required to support Duart production. The operator will continue to close the field until these problems are resolved. Talisman indicates that the earliest restart date is December 2012.

Apr. 2012 - Bridge Energy has restarted production at the Duart field, which has been shut-in since Oct. 5, 2011 as a result of planned maintenance activity on the host Tartan platform. The extended shutdown on the Tartan platform has enabled completion of a more comprehensive maintenance work scope which should increase the near term uptime of the facility.

Mar. 2012 - Bridge Energy reported that the Tartan and Duart field operator, Talisman, is working to restart operations on the Tartan platform and projects production to restart at the end of March. The extended shutdown on Tartan has enabled completion of a comprehensive work scope which should increase the near term uptime of the facility, said Bridge. The increased host uptime and a period of flush production following the long shut down is expected to partly offset the delayed production volumes.

Jan. 2012 - Bridge Energy stated that the Duart field is currently shut-in with production expected to restart in mid-March. The satellite field is located on UK Block 14/20 in the North Sea about 116 miles (186 kilometers) northeast of Aberdeen, Scotland.

Oct. 2011 - Bridge Energy reported the planned maintenance shutdown commenced on the Tartan platform, which is the Duart field host platform. The field operator, Talisman, is also performing safety-related upgrades at Tartan. Production re-start is expected in mid-March 2012. The daily production from the Duart field prior to the shutdown was around 1500 bbl/d (gross) of oil at 75% watercut.
