Description
- The field was developed with a production, drilling and quarters (PDQ) platform, based on a steel jacket, with 50 active well slots, and a floating storage unit (FSU) of 850,000 bbls capacity. In addition a jack-up rig will be used for the first 4 - 5 years.
- The field is estimated to produce for 30 years, with average production of around 55,000 barrels of oil per day over the plateau period
- The Cadet field is located within UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) Block 8115a, approximately l34kilometres (km) from the Shetland lsles coastline, in a water depth of approximately 105 metres (m). Equinor will develop the field using three production wells and one water injector well, all drilled from the existing Mariner A platform
