GOLDENEYE
ST. FERGUS
• Gas Condensate Field
• Located in Outer Moray Firth, 100km NE of St Fergus Gas Terminals
• Low safety risks due to normally unmanned operations offshore
• Total lifetime production expected to be in excess of 500 Billion scf Gas and 17 Million barrels Condensate over a 10 Year period
• Greatest water depth (120 metres) in which a Jack-Up rig will be used for production well drilling
