Field

The Munro gas field is a small Southern North Sea gas accumulation developed with a single well on a minimum facilities platform. Gas production commenced in 2005, with export via pipeline to adjacent facilities in the Caister/Murdoch area for processing and onward pipeline export.

Facilities

Munro's installation comprises a fixed steel jacket with a minimal topside hosting one production well with Xmas tree and manifold. Produced gas is exported over a ~5-km, 10-inch pipeline with a piggyback service line to the nearby Hawksley or Murdoch infrastructure where dehydration and compression occur before export to the Theddlethorpe or adjacent terminals. Utility systems on Munro are limited to remote safety shutdown valves, local control power and chemical injection for corrosion/hydrate control; there is no significant onboard processing. The platform operates unmanned under remote SCADA oversight, with periodic inspection and maintenance access. The structural design accommodates shallow Southern North Sea environmental loads and basic helideck/lighting for visits.
