The Elgin–Franklin fields are two adjacent gas condensate fields located in the Central Graben Area of the North Sea east of Aberdeen, Scotland at a water depth of . The joint development of the Elgin and Franklin fields is the largest high pressure high temperature development in the world, and also contains the world's hottest, highest temperature field, West Franklin, and the Glenelg field. On 25 March 2012, a gas leak occurred at the Elgin platform resulting in a shut down of production and evacuation of personnel. The leak continued for over seven weeks, and was stopped after well intervention work on 16 May 2012. Production from the fields restarted almost a year later, on 9 March 2013. ==History== The Franklin field was discovered by well 29/5b-4, drilled by Ultramar in 1985, and appraised by wells 29/5b-6z in 1989/1990 and 29/5b-8 in 1991.〔 The field was named after British Explorer Sir John Franklin, and first production was in August 2001.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.uk.total.com/activities/elgin_franklin_facts.asp#elginfield ) 〕 The Elgin field was discovered by well 22/30c-8 in 1991 and appraised by wells 22/30c-10 in 1992/1993 and 22/30c-13 in 1994, drilled by Elf Aquitaine. The field was named after the Scottish town of Elgin. Production from the Elgin field began in March 2001.〔 The Glenelg satellite field was discovered in 1999 by well 29/4d-4, drilled by Total.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.uk.total.com/pdf/activities/Glenelg.pdf ) 〕 It is named after the Scottish town of Glenelg, Highland. It was developed by a step-out well drilled from the Elgin platform and first production was in March 2006.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.uk.total.com/activities/glenelg.asp ) 〕 The West Franklin reservoir was discovered by Total in 2003. It was developed by a deviated well from the Franklin platform. First production was achieved in March 2007 with the second well coming on stream in September 2008.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.uk.total.com/activities/west_franklin.asp ) 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elgin–Franklin fields」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
