GDF Britain Ltd., a 100% subsidiary of Gaz de France, is pleased to announce that the Munro field in block 44/17b, 150 kilometres offshore Lincolnshire, commenced production on the 22nd August 2005. This is only sixteen months after GDF Britain finished drilling the successful 44/17b-7 discovery well in April 2004.
GDF Britain Ltd. has a 39% interest in the field and its partners are ConocoPhillips (46% and operator) and Tullow (15%). The Munro field is expected to produce more than 2 million cm/day at peak.
The Munro field (operated by ConocoPhillips) consists of a single well, producing gas via a minimum-facilities platform tied back to the Hawksley subsea manifold some 5 kilometres to the north-east. Munro gas will then be transported via the Murdoch platform to the gas terminal at Theddlethorpe on the east coast of England.
GDF Britain Ltd Managing Director, said “Munro has benefited from an established partnership committed to achieving rapid production by sharing knowledge, resources and infrastructure, to deliver this remarkable achievement, accident free, in record time and some six weeks
