据俄罗斯油气网10月21日消息称，石油巨头壳牌公司10月20日宣布，已开始在北海Arran油田生产。该公司在2018年做出了对Arran的最终投资决定。
2019年，Subsea 7宣布壳牌授予Arran气田开发合同，价值1亿至2亿美元。
Arran油田位于Aberdeen以东240公里，距离英国/挪威中线约3公里，水深85米。
Shearwater平台为周边几个油田提供支持，该平台于2000年投入使用，目前仍是北海最大的油田之一。
壳牌持有该项目44.57%的股份，Rockrose Energy持有30.43%的股份，Dyas UK持有剩余25%的股份。
该油田最初发现于1985年，在产量高峰时期，Arran预计每天生产约1亿标准立方英尺的天然气和4000桶凝析油，合起来相当于每天2.1万桶石油当量。该开发项目的寿命估计约为 12 年。
