Columbus is expected to produce a total of 7,8 b/d of oil equivalent million cu m/d in gas terms -- at peak. Production is expected to begin in mid-221. The green light for Columbus follows FIDs taken by Shell for its Arran and Fram gas fields in October and June, respectively, in the Central North Sea. "Columbus is the final component of the UK Oil and Gas Authority's Central Graben Area Plan, which also included the recently sanctioned Fram and Arran fields, unlocking over 5 million boe recoverable reserves which had struggled for decades to be developed," the authority's CEO Andy Samuel said Wednesday.
