+++ Description
* The Greater Stella Area lies within United Kingdom Continental Shelf (UKCS) Block 30/06a, in the central North Sea. Block 30/06a is approximately 238km south east of Peterhead and 17km from the UK-Norway median line
* The development includes the Stella, Harrier and Hurricane fields
* The development scheme is likely to involve up to 5 production wells drilled from a sub-sea drilling centre on Stella and 2 further production wells drilled on Harrier. The Harrier centre will be tied back to the Stella where the hydrocarbons from both fields (oil and gas) will be combined
* The development solution will involve the use of the FPF-1 semi-submersible floating production unit, owned by Petrofac
* Gas is transported on the [[[Cats Central Area Transmission System Gas Pipeline | Central Area Transmission System ("CATS")]]] to the [[[Teesside Gas Processing Plant TGPP]]]
* The **Vorlich field** is being developed as an extension of the Stella develoment. Vorlich is a two-well development which will be tied back to the FPF-1 floating production facility

+++ Contractors
* **EPC Subsea:** Manufacture of drill centre manifolds, riser base structures and export pipeline tie in structures
* **Technip:** EPIC subsea contract
* Detailed design and pipelay of a 33 kilometre 10” oil export and 63 kilometer 10” gas export pipeline to the production platform,
* Various subsea works to the Stella main drill center and North drill center including;
* Installation of manifolds, tee structures, flexible pipelay and spoolpiece components,
* Installation of the mooring system to the production platform and design and installation of five-slot mid water arch.
* **Vallourec:** Provision of seamless linepipe including coating and welding services
* **Applied Drilling Technology International:** Manage development drilling and completion operations

++++ Vorlich field
* **WorleyParsons:** front-end engineering design (FEED) for the subsea tieback

+++ History
* 2011 - Ithaca award EPC Subsea Facilities Management Contract
* 2012 - Field development approval awarded
* 2012 - Technip awarded an EPIC subsea contract
* 2017 - First hydrocarbons produced
* 2018 - Approval granted for the Vorlich development

+++ Geology
* Palaeocene Andrew sandstone reservoir
