Nexen says its North Sea Buzzard platform is to be taken offline later this year for scheduled maintenance.

Production efficiency at the field was stronger on the second quarter at 88% with field ouput calculated at an average of 220,000 boe/d. “This exceeds our target of 85% efficiency, excluding planned downtime,” Nexen said in its second quarter results statement.

A major vessel inspection and turnaround programme is scheduled for Buzzard during the firs week of September. “Production will be shut-in for several weeks as the work is completed; the facility is expected to return to full rates by mid-October,” the operator declared.

But further development of Buzzard is also planned, after a successful appraisal well on the Northern Terrace sector of the field. “We are currently testing our discovery there and plan to sidetrack to assess the resource size,” Nexen says.

Also Nexen said results are expected in the third quarter this year on the North Uist prospect exploration well operated by BP which is being drilled west of the Shetlands.
