Summary Information
* Operator: BP
* Country: UK
* Location: Blocks 9/8a, 9/9a, 9/9b
* Production start: 1998
* Partners: Total, BHP Billiton
* Type: Oil & Gas

+++ Description
* The field was initially developed using two bridge-linked platforms known as D and PUQ respectively
* The PUQ platform, (process/utilities/quarters) and D (drilling) platform are linked by a 47 metre bridge. The PUQ platform comprises a 9400 tonne jacket and three major topside modules
* 8000 tonne cellar deck
* 7800 tonne production module
* 2500 tonne accommodation module and helipad
* The D platform comprises of an 8000 tonne jacket, a 7300 tonne three level integrated deck, drilling derrick and substructure.
* As part of Phase II Development, a 3rd platform was added to accommodate additional gas compression facilities. This platform, known as the CR platform, is bridge linked to the two original Bruce Field Platforms
* Oil and gas from the Bruce reservoir is recovered by 20 platform wells and 6 subsea wells
* A 248 kilometres long, 24-inch diameter oil export pipeline to the BP FPS Unity platform and thence into the BP-operated [[Forties Pipeline System]]
* Gas is transported by the [[Frigg UK Gas Pipeline System]] to the [[Fuka St Fergus Gas Processing Terminal]]
* The **Keith field** development involves 2 subsea manifolds tied back to the Bruce Phase II Western Area Development (WAD) manifold via a 7km pipeline.
* The [[Rhum Gas Field]] is also a subsea tie backs to Bruce

+++ Contractors

* **Dragados:** Construction of Bruce D Platform
* **RGC Offshore:** Construction of Bruce PUQ Platform
* **Saipem:** Transport and installation of platform & pipelines

++++ Phase II

* **Heerema:** Construction of the Jacket
* **Consafe:** Construction of the Deck
* **BiFab:** EPC Contract for Compression Platform Topsides and Bridge
* **Global Maritime:** Warranty surveyor for launch, controlled-depth tow and installation of a 7 km pipeline bundle - Keith Project

+++ History
* 1974 - Bruce Oil And Gas Field was discovered
* 1983 - Keith Field discovered
* 1990 - Field development approval granted
* 1998 - First oil and gas produced
* 2000 - Keith comes on stream

+++ Geology
* The Bruce field is a complex structure of three reservoirs - Turonian limestone (gas condensate), Bruce sandstone (oil and gas condensate), and Statfjord sandstone (oil and gas condensate). It is a structural trap consisting of several separate accumulations
