Project Description
Situated on Blocks 9/29a, 9/24a and 9/24b in the UK sector of the North Sea is the Devenick gas condensate field, 119 miles (192 kilometers) southeast of Shetland, and 2 miles (3 kilometers) from the UK/Norwegian median line. BP operates the field, owning an 89% interest; RWE Dea owns 11%.

Discovered in 1983 and appraised in 2002, Devenick is a high-pressure, high-temperature gas discovery. Development work on the field commenced in the second quarter of 2010.

Field Development

In a water depth of 374 feet (114 meters), Devenick's field development will consist of two wells, S1 and S2, connecting to a subsea manifold (with four slots including two for potential future production) tied-back via a 21 miles (34 kilometer) export pipeline to ...

Field Development

In a water depth of 374 feet (114 meters), Devenick's field development will consist of two wells, S1 and S2, connecting to a subsea manifold (with four slots including two for potential future production) tied-back via a 21 miles (34 kilometer) export pipeline to the East Brae platform.

Located on Block 16/03a, East Brae is an integrated platform, based on a 4-legged steel jacket, supporting drilling, production, utilities and accommodation facilities.

Gas condensate from the platform is exported via the Brae-Forties pipeline and Forties Pipeline System to the crude oil stabilization plant at Kinneil. Gas from the process is exported to shore via the ExxonMobil-operated Scottish Area Gas Evacuation (SAGE) system, and some gas is also re-injected into the East Brae reservoir to maximize liquid recovery.

With an estimated 20-year life span, first gas from the field is planned to commence in the second quarter of 2012.

BP Flips Switch at Devenick
Type: Production Start

Oct. 2012 - Production systems are up and running at BP's Devenick gas project in the central North Sea. The HPHT project is in the process of ramping up to full production - estimated to peak in 2013 at 100 million cubic feet per day. When producing at the maximum rate, Devenick will add an extra 3% to the UK's total gas production. BP and partner RWE Dea have invested $1 million in the project which has largely been serviced by UK based companies. Gas is routed from a subsea manifold through an insulated pipeline to the Marathon-operated East Brae platform. It is estimated that the field holds 430 billion cubic feet and will maintain production until 2025.

Technip will Engineer, Install Pipelines for Devenick Field
Type: Contract Award

Jul. 2010 - Technip was awarded an engineering and installation contract for the development of the Devenick field. The contract covers project management, engineering, fabrication, installation and commissioning of a 21 mile (33.5 kilometer) pipe-in-pipe production pipeline, with a 16-inch carrier pipeline, 3-inch piggyback methanol line and infield pipelines, and various flowlines and umbilicals. Work is scheduled for completion in 2011. The Devenick field, operated by BP, is a gas condensate reservoir located in UKCS Blocks 9/29a and 9/24b in the northern North Sea about 119 miles (192 kilometers) southeast of Shetland. Devenick lies in a water depth of 374 feet (114 meters).

BP Awards Isleburn Subsea Contracts for Andrew, Devenick Fields
Type: Contract Award

Jun. 2010 - Isleburn received a contract from BP for two subsea developments in the North Sea. The company will fabricate a 394-foot (120-meter) long caisson for the Andrew platform in the Kinnoul field, as well as a 270-ton (245 tonne) manifold and a 72-ton (65 tonne) subsea isolation valve structure for the Devenick field. Work will start immediately, and load-out is scheduled for March 2011.

Development Drilling on Devenick to Start in 2H10
Type: Status Update

May. 2010 - Development drilling on the Devenick field is expected to start in 2010, offshore installation of pipeline and facilities will start in 2011, and first gas is planned for mid-2012. The field, operated by BP, is a gas condensate reservoir located in UKCS Blocks 9/29a and 9/24b in the northern North Sea about 119 miles (192 kilometers) south east of Shetland. Devenick lies in a water depth of 374 feet (114 meters).
