Oil and gas company Hurricane Energy has confirmed the “extraordinary productivity” of two wells and the reservoir at its Lancaster Early Production System (Lancaster EPS), located in the West of Shetland area. These results encouraged Hurricane to maintain its forward production guidance at 18,000 bopd.

The Hurricane-operated Lancaster field is now in its first phase of development, the EPS, consisting of two wells tied back to the Aoka Mizu FPSO vessel. The first oil was achieved in June 2019.
