The project includes extending the life of the existing wells and addition of eight new wells. The new wells will be tied into the existing Penguins infrastructure and connected into a new FPSO. The pipeline system will be split into a North and South production pipeline, with the FPSO positioned close to the centre of the field. An offshore development area has been granted on the 18th April 2024 to further protect the pressurised infrastructure during the ongoing construction phase.

The Pipeline will be disconnected from the Tern subsea isolation valve (within the Tern platform 500 m safety exclusion zone) and the Western Isles North Riser Base (within the Western Isles FPSO / mid-water arches 500 m safety exclusion zones). Surface-laid connecting spools and associated mattresses at both ends of the pipeline will be removed. The pipeline sections back to the existing rock armour cover will be cut and recovered. The exposed ends will be temporarily protected useing concrete mattresses, and subsequently permanently covered with new rock armour.
See detailed map on our bulletin websiteWestern Isles infield subsea infrastructure decommissioning
Infield pipelines and manifolds associated with the Western Isles Development will be decommissioned
Risers, tie-in spools, manifolds and mid-water arches will be recovered from the seabed. The surface laid pipeline bundles serving the North and South drill centres will have appurtenances removed from their upper surfaces, but will remain in place until a decommissioning option is finalised. Wellheads will be left in place with existing fishing protection structures pending a future plug and abandonment campaign.
New rock armour will be deposited to protect exposed pipeline bundle ends at the North and South Drill Centre and North and South Riser Base locations.
See detailed map on our bulletin websiteWestern Isles FPSO & moorings decommissioning
The Western Isles FPSO will be disconnected from the subsea risers and moorings and floated off station. The mooring lines and piles will subsequently be recovered.
The FPSO will be disconnected from the subsea production, water injection and service umbilical risers, which will be temporarily laid on the seabed. The FPSO will then be disconnected from its moorings, with mooring lines also temporarily laid down on the seabed. The FPSO will then be towed off station using anchor handling tugs. The mooring lines will be recovered and the mooring piles will be cut 3 m below the seabed.

Talbot Field Devleopment Project
Subsea activities on Talbot will commence 31st March 2024 with diving preparatory works within the Judy Platform 500m safety zone. This will be followed by the installation of a new 15km long 12”/18” Pipe-In-Pipe Pipeline and Electro Hydraulic Chemical (EHC) Control Umbilical between the Talbot Field and the Judy Platform. A Survey Support Vessel (SUV) will be used to support pipeline and umbilical lay operations as well as performing the pre-commissioning activities for the newly installed pipeline. A Trenching Support Vessel (TSV) will be used to plough and backfill the pipeline and umbilical. On completion of pipelay and trenching activities, a rock dump vessel will perform spot rock dump activities along the pipeline and umbilical route and at the existing pipeline crossing locations.
A subsea manifold structure (Talbot DC1 Manifold) will be installed at the Talbot field location using a Construction Support Vessel (CSV). The CSV will also install a further subsea structure (Talbot SSIV Manifold) within the Judy Platform 500m safety zone.
A Dive Support Vessel (DSV) will perform the tie-ins of the newly installed pipeline and umbilical at the Talbot DC1 Manifold location and within Judy Platform 500m safety zone. The DSV will also support the commissioning of the pipeline and umbilical.
All vessels will be transiting back and forth between the Talbot and Judy locations numerous times during the construction phase.
Affleck Field Development Project
Subsea activities on Affleck will commence circa 18th April 2024 with a new 21km 8”/12” Pipe-In-Pipe Pipeline to be laid between the Affleck Manifold and the Talbot Field DC1 Manifold, and a new 36km Electro Hydraulic Chemical (EHC) Control Umbilical to be laid between the Judy Platform and the Affleck Manifold. In support of the pipelay and umbilical lay there will be a survey support vessel and two Trenching vessels, one to plough and backfill the pipeline and one to jet trench the EHC Umbilical. The survey support vessel will also be performing the pre-commissioning activities for the newly installed pipeline. The vessels will be transiting back and forth between these locations numerous times during the construction activities.
A Dive Support Vessel (DSV) will be performing the tie-ins of the newly installed pipeline and umbilical at the Affleck Manifold Location, the Talbot DC1 Manifold location and within Judy Platform 500m zone. The DSV will also support the commissioning of the pipeline and umbilical.
On completion of pipelay and trenching activities a rock dump vessel will perform spot rock dump activities along the pipeline and umbilical route and at the existing pipeline crossing locations. The rock dump activities are currently split into two separate scopes.
The earliest start date for Affleck operations to commence is 18th April 2024.

Petrogas North Sea Ltd intends to carry out drilling operations using the jack-up drill rig “Noble Resilient” at the Abbey gas field . The work is expected to take around 100 days at the Abbey location. However the actual duration will depend on both operational and weather factors. Whilst at location the vessel will be static and connected to the seabed so is unable to move or maneuver its position.
Petrogas seeks the cooperation of fishermen to refrain from placing static fishing gear within 500m of the Abbey well site location, where the jack-up drill vessel will be working, This is to avoid any entanglement, interference or damage to either the fishing gear or drilling equipment.
