Shell plans to boost oil and gas output from its Gannet field in the UK sector of the North Sea.

The proposed development includes the carry¬ing out of two well workovers and the drilling of up to four sidetracks at the Gannet A field from the Gannet A platform.

The Gannet complex comprises one fixed drilling and production platform for the Gannet A, B, C, D, E, F and G mature producing fields, located in Blocks 21/25, 21/30, 22/21 and 22/26a in the Central North Sea.

Gannet A is a four-legged lifted steel jacket off¬shore drilling, production and accommodation platform located in Block 21/25, which also acts as the host platform for the Gannet B, C, D, E, F and G subsea satellite tie-backs.
