Balloch Field Development Environmental Statement
Section 2 Proposed Development
Option 2 ‐ Long (~1.7 km) step out from DC2 with cooling spool
Similar to Option 1, Option 2 involves the Balloch fluids being commingled with that of Donan and
Lochranza at the existing DC2 production manifold. Again, the fluids will be transported to the GPIII
FPSO via the existing PL2662 13½ ” production flowline. This option also involves the installation of
subsea cooling spools. In this option the production wells would be located above the Balloch
reservoir, approximately 1.7 km from the DC2 manifold (Figure 2‐6). This development option would
facilitate any future tie‐in to any other Balloch flowline installed at a later date.
