Mungo NUI
A Normally Unmanned Installation (NUI) supporting production from the Mungo oil field in the Central North Sea, installed in 1998. It hosts wellheads and minimal surface facilities, with periodic maintenance visits and remote control functions. Fluids are tied back to the Eastern Trough Area Project (ETAP) central facilities for processing and export.

Field
The Mungo field is part of the ETAP cluster, a group of small oil and gas accumulations developed around a central processing hub. Mungo's reservoir is an oil accumulation with a gas cap in the central North Sea, producing into the ETAP central facilities.
Facilities
The Mungo NUI comprises a small fixed steel platform with a well bay and manifolds for oil/gas production. It does not house significant processing equipment; instead, produced fluids are routed via subsea flowlines to the ETAP central processing facility (CPF) where separation, dehydration, gas compression, and export functions are handled. The NUI includes basic utilities for remote surveillance, flow control valves, and emergency shutdown systems. Power for instrumentation is derived from battery or small generator units, with communications links to the CPF. The installation is designed for minimal offshore staffing, relying on the CPF for main processing and export management.
