Abstract
Abstract The Cleeton Gas Field is located in the Sole Pit Basin in the Southern North Sea in UK Block 42/29. The gas is trapped in sandstones of the Lower Permian Lower Leman Sandstone Formation, which was deposited by wind and occasional fluvial action in a desert environment. In contrast to nearby Ravenspurn South, the sands have excellent reservoir properties, particularly in the aeolian sandstones, with porosities around 22% and permeabilities between 10 and 100 md. The trap is a NW-SE-striking faulted anticline, in which the top seal is provided by the early Permian Silverpit shales directly overlying the reservoir. The field has been producing since October 1988 and its use in the Villages Field Project is as a peak shaving producer to the Ravenspurn South Field main output. The initial reserves are 280 BCF and the field life is expected to be 9 years.
