Field and context

The Forties oilfield, discovered in 1970 and brought onstream in 1975, is one of the UK North Sea's largest oil accumulations. Reservoirs are Paleocene Forties Formation sandstones containing highly productive crude. Multiple platforms (FA, FB, FC, FD, FE) were built to exploit the field's resources, with Charlie acting as the central gathering hub.
