Repsol Sinopec Resources UK Ltd has acquired both RockRose Energy and JX Nipponâs interest in block 15/23a (P324) which contains the Galley field. The deal which will see Repsol acquire 100% interest in the block is pending regulatory approval.  The Galley field was discovered in 1974 with well 15/23-1. The field was brought onstream in April 1998 after being developed via with the Northern Producer semi-submersible production platform. Production was from two manifolds, one on the North block and one on the south block connected via central riser base. After a number of years of production a decision to redevelop the field was announced in 2006. The plan was to tie the field back to the Tartan platform to utilise an additional 7 MMbo. However, this redevelopment has yet to take place.  Following completion of the deal interest in the block will be held solely by Repsol Sinopec Resources UK Ltd.
