Abstract
Summary This paper presents the first year of development of the Maureen field in the British sector of the North Sea. A steel platform gravity structure was used for development. The crude oil is tanker-loaded at an articulated loading column (ALC). Production, seawater injection, and gas lifting are discussed. Production covers well completions, wellhead tiebacks, process-plant performance, and downtime. In particular, the performance of the ALC is detailed. At the column, successful modifications to the hawser system for tanker mooring were made, to reduce excessive hawser replacements. Seawater injection experiences are described, and details of the perforating techniques and stimulation treatments are given. Gas lifting of a well to test the surface and downhole facilities is described.
