The Arran gas/condensate field (RockRose 30.43%) is located 240 kilometres east of Aberdeen, close to the UK/Norway median line in a water depth of 85 metres. Following the submission of a field development plan (FDP) to the Oil & Gas Authority (OGA) in September 2018, the field is being developed and operated by Shell as a 60-kilometre subsea tie-back to the Shearwater platform at an estimated cost of £300 million. Production start-up is scheduled for the first half of 2021, with gross output expected to peak at over 22,000 boepd (approximately 7,000 boe/d net to RockRose) from reserves of c.30 MMboe (over 9 MMboe net to RockRose). Hydrocarbons will be processed on and then exported from the Shearwater platform, with gas joining the SEGAL system and condensate the Forties pipeline system.
