Twenty years since first oil on North Alwyn platform

Twenty years ago, first oil was produced from North Alwyn platform, in the UK North Sea.

The Alwyn field, which lies 440 kilometers northeast of Aberdeen, was brought on-stream in November 1987. North Alwyn is currently one of the largest oil and gas processing platforms in the UK North Sea acting as a gathering hub for nearby fields with a production of around 140,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Since first oil, the North Alwyn hub has delivered over 900 million barrels of oil equivalent produced from the Alwyn field and from the satellite fields. The exploration and development programme that will be launched on the Alwyn Area in the coming three years represents an investment of around $800 million.
