About MeThelma is one of a group of three North Sea oil and gas fields known as the T-Block. The T-Block, consisting of Thelma, Tiffany and Toni, is 155 miles north east of Aberdeen in around 130 metres of water. Oil from Tiffany is extracted using a fixed steel platform, of a similar type to Murchison. Instead of building a platform for Thelma, a six well subsea template was installed. Sometimes, this type of structure is used when a field does not have enough oil to justify a platform of its own. In this case, the field was quite close to the Tiffany platform so it made sense for Thelma's oil to be exported via Tiffany.
Oil from Thelma's wells travels twelve kilometres along two flowlines to Tiffany. Then, the oil goes via the Brae/Forties pipeline to the Forties Pipeline System and onward to the terminal at Cruden Bay.
