Ithaca Energy operates the site and owns a majority stake in the Stella field, which lies in blocks 30/6 and 29/10 NE Upper.

The blocks were awarded to Ithaca in the 25th UKCS licensing round.

The Stella field was discovered in 1979 when well 30/6-2 was drilled via a section of Paleocene Andrew sand.
