Aberdeen-based Decipher Energy is set to begin production from its Orlando field in the UK North Sea at the end of the first quarter.
The field in Block 3/3b is being developed as a single-well tie-back to the CNR International-operated Ninian Central platform.
Decipher operates Orlando on 100% after taking Faro Islands-based Atlantic Petroleum’s 25% interest in 2017. However, that deal will also see Atlantic receive royalties on oil production.
