Brigantine, Caravel, Corvette and Shamrock gas fields
May 02, 2024
The Brigantine, Caravel, Corvette and Shamrock fields are natural gas reservoirs and gas production facilities in the southern North Sea, close to the UK/Netherlands median line. The fields have produced natural gas since 1999.
The Brigantine, Caravel, Corvette and Shamrock gas fields are located in the adjacent UK Offshore Blocks 49/19, 49/20 and 49/24. Brigantine, Caravel and Corvette follow Shell’s convention of naming southern North Sea fields after types of sailing vessels. Brigantine has four gas accumulations designated A-D. The gas reservoirs have the following characteristics.[1][2][3][4]
The gas producing capability of the fields was realised through five offshore platforms, their characteristics are summarised in the table.[5][1][6][7]##2 1 3 7
