The FSO will be located at Culzean field in the UK sector of the Central North Sea approximately 250 kilometers east of Aberdeen in license block 22/25a.

The overall Culzean development concept consists of a wellhead platform, a central processing facility platform and a separate utility & living quarter platform with capacity for over 100 people.
