| Popis: | The Vulcan, Vanguard, North Valiant and South Valiant gas fields (collectively known as the 4 V-Fields) lie on the eastern flank of the Sole Pit Basin in the southern sector of the UK North Sea. They are contained within Blocks 49/16, 49/21, 48/25b and are operated by Conoco (UK) Limited. The first field to be discovered was South Valiant, in 1970 and exploration drilling continued until 1983 with the discovery of North Valiant, Vanguard and Vulcan Fields. Prominent faults and dip closures define the limits of the fields, and gas is contained within reservoir sands of Early Permian age, which are of desert origin. The gross average reservoir thckness is about 890 feet and porosities vary from 3-23% with permeabilities in producing zones varying from 0.1 md to 1950 md. Initial gas in place is estimated at 2.6 TCF with recoverable reserves of about 1.7 TCF. The fields were brought on-stream in October 1988 and produce, on average 325 MMSCFD of gas through the LOGGS complex to the Conoco/Britoil terminal at Theddlethorpe. Lincolnshire. |
