Petrogas E&P Netherlands, which is the field’s operator, and its partners EBN, Rockrose, and TAQA Offshore disclosed that the first well on the B10 platform in the Dutch sector of the North Sea produced its first gas on July 6.
This forms part of the Dutch firm’s Stage 2+ project, which also entails the A15 field that achieved its first production in February. The field encompasses the A15 platform, described by the firm as “zero emission”, and three wells, all of which are online.
The Dutch player intends to continue drilling the remaining two wells at B10 using the Noble Resolute jack-up rig, whose contract it recently extended. The wells are scheduled for completion in August.
Petrogas handed out a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract for the development of the A15 and B10 gas fields to Enersea in 2021, while HSM Offshore Energy was selected to build two platforms for the project in 2022.
