=== Description ===
* Shearwater is a high pressure/high temperature field located 125 miles east of Aberdeen, Scotland in about 300 feet of water.
* The Shearwater Platform is a fixed manned Installation comprising a wellhead platform connected by an 80m bridge to an integrated process, utilities and living quarter platform.
* The **Scoter field**, the **[[[Merganser Gas And Condensate Field | Merganser field]]]** and the **Starling field** are all tie backs to the Shearwater Platform
* Gas from the field is exported to the Bacton terminal via a 300-mile pipeline named the [[[Shearwater-Elgin Area Line (SEAL) Gas Pipeline]]]. The SEAL pipeline is jointly owned by the Shearwater partners and partners in the Elgin/Franklin fields.
* Liquids from all the fields are evacuated via a spur line into the existing [[[Forties Pipeline System]]].

=== Contractors ===
* **AMEC:** Shearwater Platform Construction
* **Hereema:** Module construction
* **KWSubsea:** Detailed design of 33km of 12"/20" production pipein-pipe and tie-in spools from Starling manifold to Shearwater platform
* **J P Kenny:** Detail design of the Scoter Riser at Shearwater and the Scoter Manifold

=== History ===
* 1991 - Shearwater Gas And Condensate Field discovered
* 1997 - Approval received for development
* 2001 - Government approval given to Scoter
* 2007 - Starling field approval given
* 2021 - Exxon sells its stake to HitecVision
