By GlobalDataThe Cheviot project comprises redevelopment of the Emerald field, which was discovered in 1975 and later abandoned after initial development in the 1990s.
Alpha Petroleum’s FDP involves the development of oil from the Cheviot and satellite Peel fields. The project is estimated to contain at least 55mmbbl of oil reserves and 120bcf of future gas volumes.
The company intends to use the Cheviot facility as a hub for other nearby discoveries and prospects. It awarded a contract to Teekay Offshore for the deployment of the Varg FPSO to Cheviot.
