Seaward license P2607 holds multiple gas fields and prospects.

NORTH PERTH, Australia— The UK’s North Sea Transition Authority has approved Hartshead Resources’ application to serve as sub-area operator of offshore license P2607, covering blocks 48/15c, 49/11c, 49/12d, 49/17b and 49/6c.

Hartshead intends to appoint a competent company as well operator as the Phase I development of the Anning and Somerville gas fields continues into the production phase, and it will bring in further companies to act as installation operator and pipeline operator, while itself retaining overall responsibility as licensee and field operator.

FEED and the export route engineering study are both progressing, with the company looking to take final investment decision on the development later this year.
