    The Balmoral Area Fields in the Central North Sea of the UK produce oil via the Balmoral floating production vessel located over the Balmoral field, and also benefit from the Burghley and Beauly third party fields. A 14-slot subsea template is tied back to the floating production vessel, which includes fluid separation, processing, power generation, gas compression, and living quarters for 119 people. Oil is transported via pipeline to an onshore terminal. The fields have a maximum estimated oil production capacity of 60,000 stock tank barrels per day through 2020.
