Magnus woes dent production for EnQuest

A series of issues at the Magnus asset and a drop from its flagship Kraken field saw production drop in the first half of 2021 for operator EnQuest.

Magnus, around 100 miles north-east of Shetland, was hit by an “unplanned third party outage”, as well as power related failures, natural declines, and an increase in scope of a well intervention programme, EnQuest said in its results for the six months to June 30.

As a result, production from the field was 13,847 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd), down 26% from the corresponding period last year.
