ʻO nā waiwai e hoʻololi lima ʻia e komo pū ana me ka ʻāina ʻo Andrew i mālama ʻia e BP a me kāna kuleana hana ʻole ma ke kahua ʻo Shearwater. ʻO ka ʻaelike, i manaʻo ʻia e pani ʻia ma hope o kēia makahiki, he ʻāpana ia o ka hoʻolālā a BP e hoʻokaʻawale i $10 biliona ma ka hopena o 2020.
"Ke hoʻololi hou nei ʻo BP i kāna waihona ʻo North Sea e kālele ana i nā wahi ulu koʻikoʻi e like me Clair, Quad 204 a me ke kikowaena ETAP," wahi a Ariel Flores, ka pelekikena ʻāpana ʻo BP no North Sea. "Ke hoʻohui nei mākou i nā pono hana i kā mākou mau kikowaena ma o nā papahana hoʻopaʻa ʻo Alligin, Vorlich a me Seagull."
Hoʻokele ʻo BP i ʻelima mau kahua ma ka ʻāina ʻo Andrews: ʻo Andrews (62.75%); Arundel (100%); Faragon (50%); Kinnaur (77%). Aia ka waiwai ʻo Andrew ma kahi o 140 mile ma ka hikina ʻākau o Aberdeen a hoʻokomo pū i nā ʻoihana subsea pili a me ke kahua ʻo Andrew kahi e hana ai nā kahua ʻelima.
Ua loaʻa ka ʻaila mua ma ka ʻāina ʻo Andrews i ka makahiki 1996, a i ka makahiki 2019, ʻo ka awelika o ka hana ʻana ma waena o 25,000-30,000 BOE/D. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo BP e hoʻoili ʻia he 69 mau limahana i Premier Oil e hoʻokele i ka waiwai ʻo Andrew.
Loaʻa iā BP kahi kuleana he 27.5% ma ke kahua Shearwater i hoʻokele ʻia e Shell, 140 mile ma ka hikina o Aberdeen, kahi i hana ai ma kahi o 14,000 boe/d i ka makahiki 2019.
Ke hoʻomohala ʻia nei ke kahua ʻo Clare, aia ma ke komohana o nā mokupuni ʻo Shetland, ma nā pae. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo BP, nona ka 45% o ka ʻāpana ma ke kahua, ua hoʻokō ʻia ka ʻaila mua ma ka lua o ka pae i ka makahiki 2018, me kahi pahuhopu o ka hoʻopuka ʻana he 640 miliona barela a me ka hoʻopuka kiʻekiʻe o 120,000 barela i kēlā me kēia lā.
ʻO ka papahana Quad 204, ma ke komohana hoʻi o Shetland, e pili ana i ka hoʻomohala hou ʻana o ʻelua mau waiwai e kū nei - ʻo nā kahua ʻo Schiehallion lāua ʻo Loyal. Hana ʻia ʻo Quad 204 e kahi ʻāpana lana, hana, mālama a me ka hoʻouka ʻana e pili ana i ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā pono subsea a me nā luawai hou. Ua loaʻa i ke kahua i hoʻomohala hou ʻia kāna aila mua ma 2017.
Eia kekahi, ke hoʻopau nei ʻo BP i kahi papahana hoʻonohonoho hoʻopaʻa subsea nui, kahi e hoʻopau ai i ka pono e kūkulu i nā kahua hana hou e hoʻomohala i nā waihona wai ʻē aʻe ma ka ʻaoʻao hema:
ʻO ka Journal of Petroleum Technology ka makasina koʻikoʻi o ka Society of Petroleum Engineers, e hāʻawi ana i nā ʻōlelo pōkole a me nā hiʻohiʻona e pili ana i nā holomua i ka ʻenehana ʻimi a me ka hana ʻana, nā pilikia o ka ʻoihana aila a me ke kinoea, a me nā nūhou e pili ana iā SPE a me kona mau lālā.
