Environmental Statements

The Tornado field lies within Blocks 204/13 and 204/14d in the Faroe-Shetland channel, West of Shetland. The Tornado field is located approximately 153 km west of the closest landfall on the Shetland Islands and approximately 6.5 km southeast from the UK/Faroes transboundary line. The water depth at the proposed drill centre location is approximately 1,060 m LAT. Water depths along the proposed pipeline route range between 1,090 m below LAT to a minimum of 593.8 m below LAT.

The proposed Tornado field development is a new subsea gas development which will comprise up to three subsea production wells tied back to the existing Greater Laggan Area network infrastructure at Tormore (subject to commercial negotiations) via a new production pipeline and control umbilical (c. 86 km in length). Produced fluids will be processed onshore at the Shetland Gas Plant (SGP) with liquid condensate piped to the nearby Sullom Voe oil terminal for further processing.

The Fotla field is located in the Central North Sea within UKCS Block 22/1b c. 176 km to the east of Peterhead, Scotland and 46 km to the west of the UK/Norway transboundary line. The Norwegian coastline lies 265 km to the east. Water depths at the Fotla field vary between approximately 119m and 132m LAT, whilst water depths along the proposed pipeline route range between 128m and 137m.

The proposed Fotla field development is a new development which will comprise two production wells connected to a subsea manifold and tied back to the existing Britannia platforms via a new production pipeline. The Harbour Energy operated Britannia platform and Bridged Linked Platform (BLP) are located 13.5 km to the north of the Fotla field in UKCS Block 16/26.

Ithaca Energy (UK) Limited has applied to the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, for consent for the development of the Captain Field in accordance with The Offshore Oil and Gas Exploration, Production, Unloading and Storage (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2020. As part of the proposed Captain EOR Stage 2 Phase II Project, six new subsea polymer injection wells will be drilled across two new drill centres. Polymer injection flowlines and control umbilicals will be installed (jet trenched and buried) between the existing Captain Bridge Linked Platform (BLP) and the new wells. An additional production well will also be drilled. The Captain field is located in Block 13/22c, approximately 145km north of Aberdeen.
