The discovery of large quantities of oil and gas in the North Sea has been one of the most dramatic events in the post-war history of the UK. The first commercial oilfield dates to 1969 when, what is now the Arbroath field was discovered. It was the discovery of the giant Forties field the following year that confirmed the exploration potential of the waters off the UK and led to a rapid succession of further substantial discoveries in the first half of the 1970s.
Oil production has grown rapidly from negligible levels in 1975, peaking close to 2.7 million bpd in 1985 through to today's 1.24 million bpd. However, today's oil and gas industry and its development rely on what is now an aging infrastructure. Infield Systems are charting the infrastructure of the North Sea from the earliest fields, most of which are now past peak production - starting from the 1960s through to projects being planned or considered for development through to 2016. All of this will be one full colour wall map.
The aim of this unique wall map is to give an insight into how new field developments have come to rely on an aging infrastructure for the transportation of product through pipelines that have seen their best. With the use of the existing infrastructure in improving development economics, reduced expenditure and faster development times, this could lead to consequences of product loss through 'leakage', increased Opex costs and transit fees in addition to increased environmental risk. With estimates of over 25bn barrels of oil remaining and over 400 prospective fields on the Offshore Energy Database, opportunities in the North Sea still exist.
This aged infrastructure will need continued maintenance and repair for new fields to come 'on-stream' within already strained budgets and may be pivotal to future developments, including some deepwater developments.
With platforms and fields coming to the end of their productive life, information on which fields will close and those which will have to continue is crucially important to all major players in the offshore oil and gas industry. Infield Systems feel this new, very informative wall map will go some way to inform players of the future ahead.
The new North Sea Infrastructure & Integrity Map has been produced using the Offshore EnergyGateway, Infield's online oil and gas GIS Mapping System and projects data from the Offshore Energy Database and forecast analysis from Infield's OFFPEX Market Modelling & Forecasting System.
Within the Map, advertising will be restricted to 11 positions though there is scope for companies to "double up". The map provides a unique marketing aide for leading operators, contractors and manufacturers to promote their services, facilities and major new project references to the global oil and gas industry.
