Discovered in 1972, the Amethyst Field is a group of five gas accumulations covering an area of 97 km 2 in the southern North Sea in blocks 47/8a, 47/9a, 47/13a, 47/14a and 47/15a. It is one of the closest fields to the Humberside coast. Gas production started in October 1990.

Any attempt to summarize 25 years of exploration for petroleum in the UK sector of the North Sea must be a daunting task. The outcome, in terms of the oil and gas fields discovered, is the subject of this volume. This introduction will attempt to outline, very briefly, some of the ups and downs of the exploration history which has led the industry to where it stands today, 25 years on (Fig. 1). <...>

В книге собрана информация о месторождениях углеводородов Великобритании, находящихся в Северном море и восточной Атлантике (Ирландское море). Для каждого месторождения приведены данные по истории открытия, стратиграфии, строению, коллекторским свойствам, нефтематеринским породам, количеству запасов углеводородов, системе транспортировки.
