Three options for Butch

Centrica Energy is considering three different concepts to develop the Butch discovery in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea according to partner Faroe Petroleum. 

Three concepts under study are a subsea tie-back to the Ula field, a subsea tie-back to the Gyda field and a standalone development with a lease contract of a jackup rig. Faroe says Centrica is due to make a concept selection in early 2015 with and aim to submit a development plan in early 2016. 

The Butch Main well 8/10-4 S was drilled in 2011 and encountered net oil pay of about 50m in the Upper Jurassic reservoir of the Ula formation which was followed by two side-tracks (8/10-4 A and 8/10-4 T2) to appraise for additional volumes of oil further down-dip and to establish the oil-water contact.

Butch East and Butch South West were then drilled and announced as unsuccessful in May and July 2014 respectively.
