Overview
Clair is a new heavy (23.7 API), sweet (0.44% wt.S), acidic (TAN= 1.2 mgKOH/g) crude oil.
The Clair field is located approximately 75 km west of the Shetland Islands, in 140 meter water depth. It covers the area of 220 sq km. The field has been developed by a partnership of companies and is operated by BP.
Stabilised Clair crude will be exported from the offshore platform via a new dedicated 106 km pipeline to Sullom Voe on the Shetland Islands, where it will be stored in two dedicated tanks.
Clair crude will be exported from Sullom Voe terminal as a seperate stream to Brent. Clair will be shipped in double-hulled tankers to comply with EU regulations.
