Tullow Oil plc found gas from Munro

Offshore staff

Tullow Oil plc has begun gas production from its Munro field development at an initial average rate of 55 MMscf/d. This production was achieved six weeks ahead of the development schedule and only 16 months after the field was discovered.

The Munro development consists of a single well, a minimum-facilities platform and a 5 km pipeline that connects to the Tullow-owned CMS III and CMS infrastructure. The Munro field, in which Tullow has a 15% interest, is expected to produce at a peak rate of 80 MMscf/d.
