Claimed to be the largest offshore development in UK waters, Statoil’s Mariner field located on the East Shetland platform of the UK North Sea is estimated to produce an average of 55,000bpd for some 30 years.

In 2007, Statoil acquired 44.44% of the operatorship for the field from Chevron and later in 2010 acquired a further 20.66% from Nautical Petroleum.

According to Wärtsilä, the equipment is scheduled for delivery during spring 2015, and the FSU is expected to start-up in 2017.
