Eagle is located in the Greater Kittiwake Area which comprises the Kittiwake (P351), Gadwall, Grouse, Mallard (P238) and Goosander (P073) fields. The Kittiwake field was discovered in 1981 before coming onstream in 1990. Grouse was also discovered in 1981 but didnât come onstream until 2008. Mallard was the next field to be discovered in 1990 and was brought onstream in 1998. Gadwall was discovered in 1996 and began producing in 2005 and finally Goosander was discovered in 1998 and started producing in 2006. The fields (apart from Kittiwake) are tied-back to the facilities located at Kittiwake. The Kittiwake platform has oil capacity for 29,000 Bo/d and a water injection capacity of 57,000 Bo/d in a water depth of 85 m to 90 m. Oil is exported via a 10â 33 km pipeline to the Forties platform before being transported to shore at Cruden Bay via the Forties Pipeline System.
