Abstract

The Camelot Gas Fields (Camelot North, Northeast and Central-South) lie in Blocks 53/la and 53/2 in the Southern North Sea, some 30 miles (48 km) east of Great Yarmouth. Initial sub commercial discovery wells were drilled in 1967, 1969 and 1972. Further exploration and appraisal drilling was carried out in 1987 and 1988. This paper covers the Field history up to the 53/la-10 appraisal well in June 1988. The Lower Permian, Leman Sandstone Formation is the reservoir, with the gas accumulations trapped in tilted fault terraces. The Leman Sandstone Fm. in the Camelot area is 800 ft thick with a gas column up to 200 ft. Development of the fields will be in two phases. Phase I will consist of 5 wells deviated from the Camelot 'CA' platform to produce reserves from the Camelot North and Central-South Fields. Production commenced in October 1989. Phase II scheduled for 1991/92 will tie-in the Camelot Northeast Field. Gas is exported from the unmanned 'CA' gathering platform via pipeline to Amoco's Leman 'A' complex, from where the gas is transported to shore via the existing Amoco pipeline from Leman to Bacton. Total recoverable reserves for the Camelot Fields are estimated at 215 BCF.
