On 22 March 2018, Chrysaor reported that it had agreed a deal with Spirit Energy, where Chrysaor will acquire the remaining interest held by Spirit in the Armada field complex (23.58%), Maria (64%) and Seymour (43%). Spirit Energy will still retain liability for decommissioning. The value of the deal has not been disclosed, however it is expected to complete during H2 2018. Chrysaor is looking to drill new wells on the mature fields in a bid to realise their full potential.  The Armada development comprises Fleming, Drake and Hawkins fields. These fields were developed together and came onstream in 1997. The Seymour and Maria fields were developed later as subsea tie-backs to Armada. The produced hydrocarbons from Seymour are combined with that produced from the other Armada fields and the gas is exported via the CATS pipeline to Teesside. Liquids are transported through the Forties Pipeline System (Forties) to the Kinneil processing plant at Grangemouth.    Upon completion of the deal Chrysaor will be operator and hold 100% interest in the Greater Armada cluster (Drake, Fleming and Hawkins), Seymour and Maria.
