Premier Oil pumped an average of 12,100 b/d from its UK North Sea fields in the first 10 months of this year. Premier said the UK producing fields in which it participates are generally performing well. Uptime at the Balmoral facility has improved significantly although return to full production capacity following the annual maintenance shutdown was slow and has been hampered by ongoing logistical issues relating to UK helicopter services. On Kyle, the operator is targeting the 2013 summer weather window to have the field back onstream, although Premier has not included any contribution from Kyle in its 2013 production forecast.
