The 16/13a-G well, designed to produce both oil and gas, will be tied back using new subsea infrastructure to the Marathon-operated Brae A Platform, located 15km northwest of Enoch in UKCS Block 16/7.
Modifications have been undertaken on Brae A to support the subsea infrastructure and process and meter the Enoch-produced fluids. The Enoch oil will then be exported from Brae A through the Forties Pipeline System and sold at Kinneil, while Enoch gas will be sold offshore to Brae.
Paladin Expro, an Australian-listed resources company, is operator of the Enoch field, as well as being a partner with Woodside Petroleum in the Laminaria/Corallina development in the Timor Sea.
The Enoch field, which straddles the United Kingdom and Norwegian international boundary, has been estimated to contain 15 million barrels of proven and probable (2P) oil equivalent reserves.
Production is expected to start at about 12,000 barrels of per day.
