Abstract
Abstract The major fields in the North Sea are currently in production and the average size of prospective development fields will decrease with time. The smaller or ‘marginal’ field development technology will represent a major factor in the future of oil and gas development in the North West European Continental Shelf area. Worldwide the number of exploitable marginal discoveries to date is believed to exceed 800. In the North West European Continental Shelf it is forecast by Hoare Govett that more than 45 marginal developments will be underway before 1990 in this area. These will be chosen from a known potential of 200 discoveries.
