The London-listed operator is currently screening concepts that could entail a subsea tieback of the North Sea find to one of three nearby platforms - Wintershall-operated Brage, or Statoil’s Oseberg South or Oseberg - though it is also looking at possible use of an unmanned wellhead platform, according to chief executive Graham Stewart.
He said it would be desirable to make a final investment decision on the scheme to coincide with submission of a development plan to the authorities as early as next year once it has finalised a concept and that 2019 was a viable start-up date.
