Although the data for the recent past are still somewhat patchy at the time of writing, a limited turnaround in the non-oil economy can be expected in the third quarter of the year, accompanied by a recovery in North Sea output. We expect oil production in the latter half of the year to be some 10 per cent higher than in the first half, with the reopening of fields following installation of new equipment. Growth in the onshore economy is likely to prove hesitant, with the overall level of output in the second half of the year being little changed from that in the first.

AbstractSouth Brae Oilfield lies at the western margin of the South Viking Graben, 161 miles northeast of Aberdeen. Oil production began in July 1983 from a single platform located in 368 ft of water. The field originally contained 312 MMBBL of recoverable reserves, and in May 1990, cumulative exports of oil and NGL reached 219 MMBBL. The reservoir lies at depths in excess of 11800 ft TVSS, has a maximum gross hydrocarbon column of 1670 ft, and covers an area of approximately 6000 acres.The reservoir is the Upper Jurassic Brae Formation which is downfaulted against tight sealing rocks of probable Devonian age at the western margin of the field. The other field margins are constrained by a combination of structural dip and stratigraphic pinchout.The reservoir is capped by the Kimmeridge Clay Formation, which is also the source of the oil.

AbstractThe South Brae Oilfield lies at the western margin of the South Viking Graben, 161 miles NE of Aberdeen. Oil production began in July 1983 from a single platform located in 368 ft of water. The field STOOIP is 795 MMBBLs, and in May 1999, cumulative exports of oil and NGL reached 265 MMBBLs. The reservoir lies at depths in excess of 11 800 ft TVDss, has a maximum gross hydrocarbon column of 1670 ft, and covers an area of approximately 6000 acres.The reservoir consists of Upper Jurassic Brae Formation sandstones and conglomerates deposited as submarine fan complexes that are downfaulted against tight sealing rocks of probable Devonian age at the western margin of the field. The other field margins are constrained by a combination of structural dip and stratigraphic pinchout.
