Field and context

The Forties field produces from Paleocene sandstones with significant oil and associated gas volumes. FB forms part of a network of fixed installations (FA, FB, FC, FD, FE) developed in the 1970s and 1980s to exploit these reservoirs. FB's fluids feed central processing hubs rather than being fully processed onsite.
