Brae oilfield

[2] The Fields are operated by TAQA Bratani and are located in UKCS block 16/7a.

Three accumulations total about 70 million tonnes of oil liquids and a further 22 cubic kilometres of gas.

The main platforms currently produce from underlying reserves, with regular infill drilling to identify and exploit undrained pockets in the Brae stratigraphy.

A number of subsea tieback fields in the area produce through facilities on the platforms, extending their viability into the future.

Electricity generation was powered by four 25 MW Rolls-Royce SK-30 gas turbines.

[5] The topsides for East Brae were designed by Matthew Hall Engineering which was awarded the contract in October 1988.
