2. The beginning of production at Seagull marks the successful implementation of BP's development strategies and could signal a significant phase in the company's regional operations.
3. The Seagull site is set to maximize production from existing assets in the surrounding area.
4. Seagull is located in the Central North Sea on UK Continental Shelf Block 22/26a and is primarily a drilling program with four wells that will be tied back to the ETAP production hub, operated by BP.
5. The Seagull project is predicted to make a substantial contribution to BP's extensive portfolio with its high pressure, high-temperature development and considerable oil and gas yields.
The Seagull field is expected to produce around 50,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day at peak production.
In further development, the Seagull site is expected to maximize production from the existing surrounding assets. BP detailed that Seagull is a high pressure, high-temperature development. It is located in the Central North Sea on UK Continental Shelf Block 22/26a, some 17 miles south of the BP-operated ETAP production hub.
