Leadon and Gryphon are early
Eocene age Fields located 23 km apart but which could not be more differenct in terms of their performance from sand injectites. Both Fields are located in the Beryl Embayment
of the UKCS North Sea. Sub seismic Frigg sand injectites are the developed reservoir in the Leadon Field. First oil was achieved in November 2001. The
main Gryphon reservoir is basin floor high density turbidite
sandstones within the Balder Formatiuon which were
developed from October 1993. Since August 2004 production started from wells
drilled into seismic scale sand injection wings in the Balder.
