Premier Oil has received approval of its Catcher Area Field Development Plan (FDP) from the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC). The Premier-operated Catcher Area is located in the UK Central North Sea and is expected to produce 96m boe, with a peak production rate of around 50,000 b/d of oil. The project will entail the drilling of 22 subsea wells (14 producers and eight water injectors) on the Catcher, Varadero and Burgman fields, which will be tied back to a leased FPSO. The oil will be offloaded by tankers, while the gas will be exported through the SEGAL facilities.
