1 INTRODUCTION
The Greater Stella Area Development consists of three fields:-
the Stella field which will produce both a rich gas condensate and black oil
the Harrier field which will produce gas condensate.
The Hurricane field which will produce volatile oil.
The Stella and Harrier fields are located in the Central North Sea within the UK
Block 30/6a. The Hurricane field is located in UK Block 29/10b, approximately
10 km west of the Stella field.
The FPF1 floating production vessel is being refurbished and upgraded after
more than 30 years of operation in the North Sea to receive and process the
reservoir fluids from each of the three fields. The FPF1 will be located
approximately 2 km north west of the Stella Main Drill Centre and 1.5 km south
of the Stella Northern Drill Centre. The Stella fields will be tied back to the
FPF1 via subsea manifolds. The Harrier field will be tied-back to the main Stella
manifold and then tied back to the FPV. The Hurricane field, when developed,
will be tied directly back to the FPV.
Oil from the FPF1 will be exported to the Forties system and gas to CATS system.
