This is old news...but bodes well for the future...One of the few l and based oil wells began production near Lybster, Caithness, Scotland.
The well is operated and owned by Caithness Petroleum.
In 2008, Caithness spudded the L11/24-3z development well on the Lybster field. The well was drilled from an onshore site two kilometres south of the village of Lybster. The Lybster structure is crossed by a north-east/south-west trending fault. The well appraised the area west of this fault and was suspended. In 2010, following evaluation of these results, the well was extended across the fault to twin the discovery well, which had flowed 2,000 barrels of oil per day on test.
A horizontal section was drilled through the Beatrice B sandstone reservoir. After completing operations, we released the rig and brought in a coiled tubing unit to perforate and test the well. In August 2011, the well flow tested at rates up to 1,900 barrels of oil per day through a restricted choke... Ensco drilling somewhere between the Lybster find and the proven Beatrice feild...GLA.
