Talisman Energy Inc., a major Canadian-based international oil operator, says it has begun production from its Duart field in the North Sea about two months ahead of schedule. Talisman said Friday initial production rates are expected to surpass 6,000 barrels of oil a day from the field, discovered in 1988 and located 186 kilometres northeast of Aberdeen, Scotland. The field is about eight kilometres from the Tartan production platform and oil will be shipped by tanker to market using the Flotta export system. “The field is an integral part of Talisman’s plans to prolong the life of both the Tartan platform and the Flotta export system,” the Calgary company said in a release. Talisman’s British unit operates the Duart field and has a 50 per cent stake in the project, with the remaining 50 per cent owned by a subsidiary of Nexen, also of Calgary.
Talisman Energy has natural gas operations in Canada and oil and gas businesses in the North Sea, Southeast Asia, Australia, North Africa, the United States and Trinidad and Tobago. |
