The new platform forms a part of Talisman’s Montrose Area Redevelopment (MAR) project that is expected to extend the life of the Montrose Area fields by at least 13 years, to beyond 2030.

The 8,500t, 75m-long BLP topsides will link the existing Montrose Alpha facility to the new Montrose BLP platform to provide additional process and plant support facilities.

"It adds a completely new facility to our core infrastructure."

Talisman Sinopec Energy UK managing director Bill Dunnett said: "The Montrose area redevelopment is not only one of the biggest capital projects in the UK North Sea this year, but also a tangible demonstration of the long term commitment of our shareholders and partners to the UKCS.
