North Sea field re-development involves transfer of production facility from Leadon
Offshore staff
(Aberdeen) Britain's government has approved Maersk Oil's redevelopment plan for Donan in the UK North Sea. The Palaeocene oilfield, which lies in blocks 15/20a and 15/20b, was formerly produced by BP, and more recently was re-appraised by Kerr-McGee. It has since been re-named Dumbarton.
Maersk's plan is based on six development wells tied back to the FPSOGlobal Producer III, built originally by Kerr-McGee to develop the Leadon field. Dumbarton should come onstream early in 2007.
