EnQuest to Develop Kraken Oilfield With Biggest U.K. Investment

Bloomberg 15-Nov-13
EnQuest Plc (ENQ), a North Sea oil and gas producer, said it will spend $1.4 billion to bring the Kraken oilfield to production in 2017.
“This is the largest investment in the U.K. North Sea this year,” Chief Executive Officer Amjad Bseisu said in a telephone interview. “This should bring us up to 50,000 barrels a day of production.”
Kraken, a discovery containing 137 million barrels of oil, will attract 4 billion pounds ($6.4 billion) of investment over the 25-year life of the field, EnQuest said today.

 The project will help EnQuest reach a goal of more than doubling output from about 23,000 barrels a day in the first 10 months of 2013.
EnQuest maintained its production forecast for this year of 22,000 barrels to 24,500 barrels of oil equivalent a day. The outlook for 2014 is “positive,” Bseisu said.
