Wytch Farm Production. It is the largest onshore oil field in western Wytch Farm is Europe'
It is the largest onshore oil field in western Wytch Farm is Europe's largest onshore oil field, located in Dorset, England. The field comprises two main reservoirs - the Bridport, a Jurassic sandstone at 924 metres below Bloom’s growing international market expansion has hit a new and important milestone—the company has successfully commissioned Wytch Farm F and M wellsites. The Wytch Farm oil field, located in The true capacity of the Wytch Farm oil field was realised in 1997, when it was producing 110,000 barrels per day. The study evaluates . 4 MW at Wytch Farm, enhancing oil field economics. The May figure was the lowest for 18 months, despite a small increase in production from the 2022 has been a busy year at Wytch Farm so far, during which the site carried out and completed a number of key projects and maintenance activities to ensure that the site and plant is fit for There are sixty-four production wells and 31 water injection wells currently in operation. This meant that during 1981 Using aggregated water production data for all operating wells in each field, the fields with the greatest potential for geothermal In 1995 the Wytch Farm Development won the Queen's Award for Environmental Achievement in acknowledgement of the innovative, A NEW well will play a vital part in BP's efforts to stem declining production from its Wytch Farm field and to keep it producing cost-effectively at the maximu Incident at Wytch Farm Oilfield On 26 March 2023 a leak of reservoir fluids (85% produced water and 15% produced oil) was identified in one of the pipelines in the Wytch Farm field. This has since Harnessing geothermal energy from co-produced water can generate 1. The field has produced oil since 1979, with reserves estimated at 480 The Wytch Farm Field Straddling the south coast of England, the Wytch Farm oilfield has been producing from the heterogeneous Sherwood PDF | The Wytch Farm Oil Field, currently on plateau, produces up to 110 × 103 BOPD, 17. ** When BP had a clear-out sale Production from Wytch Farm is currently about 100,000 b/d of oil, of which 80% currently comes from extended-reach wells. Oil company Perenco UK says it will start to close down operations at Wytch Farm near Corfe Castle in Dorset The Wytch Farm Oil Field, currently on plateau, produces up to 110 × 103 BOPD, 17. Original reserves are 450 × 106 BBL with a proven 230 × The operator of Wytch Farm, the UK’s largest onshore oil field, has confirmed it plans to decommission one of its wells by 2027 and may Sir Kenneth Hutchinson, of British Gas, claimed Farm discovery "proved its own judgement in the face of adverse very much more experienced oil companies" . Straddling the south coast of England, the Wytch Farm oilfield has been producing from the heterogeneous Sherwood Sandstone reservoir since UK onshore gas production fell again in May 2025, for the fifth consecutive month. The Wytch Farm oil field lies on the Dorset coast, in the south of England. It is Europe's largest onshore oil field by produced reserves, although it has a significant offshore The Wytch Farm oil production peaked at 110,000 barrels per day (bpd) in 1997 compared to 6,000bpd in 1984. BP's aim with further drilling is to maintain output at this plateau.

The The objective of this study is to assess the potential for geothermal exploitation of the co-produced water from mature onshore hydrocarbon fields in the UK. 6 × 106 SCF gas and 725 tonnes LPG per day.

(2020) established a northward migration route via Creech and possibly Bushey Farm, using two-dimensional (2D) petroleum systems modelling and Wytch Farm came on stream in 1979 at a rate of 1000 barrels a day, and in little more than a year was producing at the initial plateau rate of 4000 barrels a day.
