BP has been given the go ahead from the UK authorities to proceed with the $263 million Vorlich development in the central North Sea, writes Rob Watts.
Vorlich, a two-well development located 241 kilometres east of Aberdeen, will be tied back to the Ithaca Energy-operated FPF-1 floating production facility, the centrepiece of the Greater Stella Area production hub. Ithaca has a 34% interest in Vorlich.
