Serica Energy plc has confirmed the completion of scheduled maintenance at the Triton Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel, with the restart of production operations now underway.
The Triton FPSO is operated by South Korea's Dana Petroleum.
Repairs were finalised earlier, and production will begin shortly, ramping up as each field tied back to the FPSO resumes output according to the standard post-maintenance procedure.
A stable production rate is expected to be achieved in July, the company said.
Prior to the shutdown, the Triton FPSO was delivering 25,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) net to Serica.
This figure could increase with the addition of two new wells brought online during the downtime.
These include the W7z well on the Guillemot North West field, in which Serica holds a 10% interest, and the EV02 well on the Evelyn field, which is fully owned by Serica.
Both wells were completed on schedule and under budget.
During the shutdown, extensive upgrades and repairs were carried out, including a major overhaul of the inert gas marine system, with more than 100 components replaced or refurbished.
Preparations were also made to accommodate future production from the Belinda field, expected in early 2026.
Additional work included safety-critical maintenance on the firewater system and the replacement of valves and piping throughout the FPSO.
These efforts are expected to significantly enhance the FPSO’s operational performance, with no further planned outages for the remainder of 2025.
Serica Energy is a British independent oil and gas company with a strong presence in the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS).
The company is responsible for around 5% of the UK’s natural gas production, contributing to the country’s energy transition.
Its production portfolio centres around two key hubs: the Bruce, Keith and Rhum fields in the UK Northern North Sea, and a group of operated and non-operated fields tied back to the Triton FPSO.
Serica also operates the Columbus and Orlando fields and holds a non-operated stake in the Erskine field.
