HC Deb 05 November 1975 vol 899 cc185-6W
Mr. Patrick Jenkin

asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether any licence holders in respect of oilfields declared commercial since 4th March 1974 have announced firm development plans or given firm orders for major items of development expenditure; and if so, whether he will list the fields.

Mr. John Smith

The Ninian, Claymore, Heather, Cormorant and United Kingdom Statfjord fields have all attained commercial status since 4th March 1974. Development programmes have begun and platforms and other major items of equipment have been ordered for Ninian. Claymore, Heather and Cormorant and the United Kingdom and Norwegian licensees of Statfjord, which straddles the median line, are discussing joint development of the field.
