The Hewett Fields complex, discovered in 1966, is located in the southwestern part of the Southern North Sea Basin. Gas is currently being produced from four horizons: Upper and Lower Bunter sandstones in the Triassic, Rotliegendes sandstones, and Zechstein dolomites in the Permian. Seven fields, containing a total of ten reservoirs, lie within the Hewett Unit and all have a NW-SE orientation. Gas flows, via two 30-inch (0.76 m) pipelines, to the ConocoPhillips-operated Bacton terminal, where onshore compression facilities are located. There are also compressors located on two platforms. Over 4 TCF (113 billion cubic metres) of gas has so far been produced in over 30 years of production.
