The Magnus oilfield is a large oilfield in the United Kingdom's zone of North Sea. It is located north-east of the Shetland Islands. The field is located mainly in Block 211/12a. Resources are estimated to total of oil, of which are recoverable reserves.〔 ==History== The Magnus oilfield was discovered in March 1974 by BP. The discovery was made below the seabed in the younger sands of the Late Jurassic by the semi-submersible drilling rig Sedco 703. Similarly to several other fields in the area, the field was named after the Viking saint–Magnus of Orkney. Fabrication of the Magnus structure began in 1980 at Highland Fabricators' yard at Nigg Bay in the Cromarty Firth. The jacket of the Magnus platform, the main oil export pipeline to the Ninian Central Platform, and the Northern Leg Gas Pipeline to Brent A were installed by 1982. In May 1996, the production started at the South Magnus field.〔 〕 First oil from the field was achieved in August 1983. The enhanced oil recovery project was proposed in 2000.〔 It was implemented in 2003.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Magnus oilfield」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
