Core areas in the UK
Strong commitment
to chosen regions

West of Shetland: first exploration well,
drilled in 2012-2013

Central North Sea:
Faraday and Austen discoveries and
ongoing exploration program

Southern North Sea:
Cygnus, Juliet, Orca, developments

Cygnus and Juliet:
Flagship projects
Cygnus
 Largest discovery in the Southern Gas Basin in the
last 25 years.
 Gross 2P reserves ~ 18 billion cubic metres
 At peak production, it will contribute 5% of UK gas
production, equivalent of supplying ~1.5 million UK
homes
 Project partners GDF SUEZ E&P UK, Centrica and
Bayerngas
Juliet
 GDF SUEZ E&P UK exploration discovery in 2008
 First gas by the end of 2013
 Project partners GDF SUEZ E&P UK, First Oil and
Hansa Hydrocarbons

Cygnus:
Background
Challenges:
 Large areal extent, Challenging reservoir quality
 Shallow water
Key success factors:
 Subsurface vision and skills
 Continuous management support
 Securing export route
GDF SUEZ E&P UK picked up
licence in 2002 and drilled 5
appraisal wells
Key achievements:
 Successful appraisal campaign
 Project sanction in August 2012
Key success factors to develop:
 Detailed engineering progress to keep pace
with construction schedule
 Development of ‘one team, one goal’ spirit
with key contractor

Cygnus:
Field development and layout
Schedule to First Gas: Q4 2015
 Gross Capex £1.4 billion
 10 wells: 5 at each drill centre
 One main hub with 3 bridge linked
platforms providing accommodation,
processing and export;
 Additional Well Head Platform
(WHP) in West (Bravo)
 Export via Esmond Transport
System (ETS) pipeline into Bacton
Terminal.

Juliet:
Field development
Schedule to First Gas: Q4 2013
 Majority of contracts awarded to UK based suppliers
 Two horizontal subsea wells tied back by a 22km 12-inch diameter export
pipeline and control umbilical to the Pickerill A platform
 Existing infrastructure will transport the Juliet gas from Pickerill A to the
Theddlethorpe terminal
 Drilling has started in February 2013 with topsides and subsea construction
taking place throughout 2013

Future SNS opportunities:
Clear Focus and Specific Challenges

Preferences
• Leverage large investments in Cygnus & Juliet
• Operated satellites
• Operated hub

Specific challenges
•
•
•
•
Size of future discoveries
Access to infrastructure
Quad 44 specific issues: Gas quality, Halite
Future abandonment liabilities
20
Future SNS opportunities:
Specific challenges – CAN YOU HELP SOLVE ANY?

Size of remaining SNS opportunities likely to be modest
• Need to adopt ingenious solutions to make these opportunities more resilient, e.g.
‒ low cost option, standardisation of design, short cycle time, economies of scope via simultaneous
development of several discoveries.
• Learning from past successes and close collaboration with key industry partners is expected
to be a critical success factor

Access to infrastructure
• Anticipated reduction of potential hubs with a risk of stranded gas

Quad 44 specific issues: Gas quality, Halite
• Innovative solutions required to provide cost effective solutions

Life of field mind set
• Development decisions should be made with sufficient consideration for efficient
decommissioning and removal where applicable.
