Summary:Before completing a deepwater subsea well in the Schiehallion field, BP overcame a complex installation problem by identifying and solving problems. The Schiehallion field lies in 1,150-1,475-foot water depths about 103 nautical miles west of the Shetland Islands. The reservoir was discovered in 1993 and brought on stream in 1998. It is the largest BP-operated field in the region and is one of the UK's largest producing fields. There are presently 19 production wells and 19 water-injection wells.
