The Kingfisher field (Licences P.295 and P.483) is operated by Shell U.K. Limited (49.74%) and co-owned by Esso Exploration and Production U.K. Limited (49.37%) and Marathon Oil North Sea U.K. Limited (0.89%). [[Hydrocarbon]]s produced from the Upper [[Jurassic]] [[Brae reservoir|Brae]] and [[Heather reservoir]] intervals are flowed to the Marathon-operated Brae Bravo platform 9 km (5.6 mi) to the west via two dedicated 10 in. (25 cm) [[subsea]] pipelines, where [[gas]] and [[oil]] are separated, with gas then being exported via the SAGE gas pipeline to St. Fergus and the oil being exported via the Brae-Forties oil pipeline system.
