Field and context
The West Sole gas field underlies Blocks 48/6 and was the site of the UK's first offshore gas production beginning in 1967. It produces conventional Rotliegendes sandstone gas in the Southern North Sea and includes satellites like Hoton developed as NUIs tied into the West Sole infrastructure to sustain gas delivery to shore.
